StaplerCup Finals from October 23 to 25: World-class forklift sports in Aschaffenburg

16 Oct 2025

From October 23 to 25, Aschaffenburg will be transformed into the epicenter of forklift sports for the 20th time. More than 130 forklift drivers will gather at the LINDE MH ARENA for the 2025 Forklift World Championship and demonstrate why they are some of the best in the world. Admission to the StaplerCup Finals is free for visitors. Anyone unable to attend in person can watch the Forklift World Championship live stream on YouTube, Sporteurope.tv and TikTok.

Aschaffenburg, October 16, 2025. More forklift action than ever before – this time during three days instead of two! That's the motto of the anniversary edition of the StaplerCup Finals. The world's largest forklift sports event is celebrating its20th edition this year and is more diverse than ever before: In addition to the athletes who qualified for the grand finale trough the numerous StaplerCup competitions across Germany, international qualifiers, for example from France, Slovakia and Estonia, will also compete in the Forklift Men's and Women's World Championship categories. At the same time, Aschaffenburg welcomes a total of ten national teams to the Forklift Team World Championship, including renowned forklift nations such as Belgium, China, France, the Netherlands and Slovakia. Of course, the German national team will also be taking part - with a top-class line-up including the reigning world champion Stefan Jenniges (Oberlascheid) and the reigning world champion Tina Föhre-Scheller (Rothenburg o.d. Tauber).

But before the Forklift World Championship begins, the company teams will be competing on Thursday (October 23). The Corporate Cup will already deliver its mark! A who's who of German industry will be competing in this team competition – including ZF Friedrichshafen, Gerolsteiner, Linde MH and, of course, the reigning Corporate Cup champion, Hanseatische Brauerei Rostock! Friday and Saturday (October 24 and 25) will be dedicated to the Forklift World Championship. The audience can look forward to entertaining forklift action on the four-person course during the preliminary rounds and can loudly cheer on the forklift heroes in the head-to-head duels in the semifinals and finals.

This year, the precision, skill and nerves of the forklift heroes will once again be put to the test with a series of special challenges. New additions include the "Duck Lift" – rubber ducks that must be fished out of a pool of water using forklifts and other warehouse trucks. The golf ball challenge is all about balance: Here, a tray full of teed-up golf balls must be safely transported from point A to point B. Fan favorites such as the Kaup HeroRamp (an oversized steel seesaw) and the HeroTower (a three-meter-high foam tower) are also a must for a GABELSTA-LA-LA-LA atmosphere!

This year's StaplerCup Finals will be streamed live and free of charge worldwide on the StaplerCup YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/staplercup), as well as on Sporteurope.tv (https://sporteurope.tv/staplercup) and TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@staplercupofficial). In addition to three days of forklift action, the audiences can also look forward to a varied and family-friendly entertainment program.
