Jimmy Vleminx from Neeroeteren, who works at Madrico, has the Belgian forklift truck riding for the third time on Saturday 14 June, the Belgian Lindecupwon. With that he again confirms his status as one of the most consistent forklift truck drivers in the country.
During the 13th edition of the competition, organized by Motrac, the 44-year-old Vleminx finished both the precision and speed tests with shine. He finished second in the precision test and managed to stack five wooden blocks as the fastest in the speed round. His strong score on the theoretical exam gave him the best total time and a place in the final.
In that final test – building a tower with seating balls and placing it on stage – Vleminx kept his nerves under control and so assured itself. On stage he was accompanied by Gerry van de Vyver (Van Peteghem Bouwpecialtenen) and Rocky van den Eeckhoudt (Coca-Cola Europacific Partners), who became second and third.
The three laureates can represent Belgium at the end of October on the international Staplercup In Germany, where our country is taking as a defending champion.
The Belgian Lindecup was organized for the 13th time.
