Who’s going to win the 2024 Forklift World Championship a.k.a. the Stapler Cup? We say Germany, which will host the competition this coming weekend in the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg.

Oddsmakers from BetUS seem to agree with us, giving the Forklift odds of -300 to Team Germany. In this post, we’ll explain why that is the case.

2024 Forklift World Championship Preview

What Team US is for basketball, Germany is in the world of competitive forklifting. This is actually the country where it all started back in 2005. At first, it was a domestic competition, but its popularity quickly spread globally.

So, two years later, the first Forklift World Championship in history took place. And an upset happened straight away!

Favored Germany failed to win the forklift gold. Instead, the trophy went to China.

But then, the Germans started taking things seriously and won the next four NationsCups. Overall, they have 9 trophies in their cupboard.

The last time around, however, they failed to win the NationsCup. Instead, Slovakia won it for the first time in history. Ahead of the 2024 competition, this team is sitting in the shared third spot on the list of Forklift World Championship favorites. Can the Slovaks upset the odds again?

2024 Forklift World Championship Prediction

Our prediction is that forklifting’s coming home!  

Slovakia’s win in the previous NationsCup was a sort of a glitch. Fast-forward to 2024 and Germany won’t let anything similar happen.

The Germany Forklift National Team is bringing heavy guns to Aschaffenburg with the intention of getting the trophy back where it belongs.
