Always satisfying to deliver new equipment and see it make a real difference.

This customer was starting to handle heavier loads, but their existing 1.6 ton forklift wasn’t up to the task. On top of that, space was tight and they needed something stable enough to operate safely outdoors, including over a rain gulley.

That’s where the Cat EP20N2 came in. With its dual drive ‘4-wheel steering’ and +100° rear turning axle, it turns like a 3-wheeler but delivers the extra stability needed for outdoor use, all in a compact chassis capable of lifting 2 ton.

The perfect solution.

Thanks again to Key Hardware and everyone involved for placing your trust in us.

It's been 5 years since this customer approached us looking for a solution to reduce forklift traffic in their production area. We recommended the innovative Combilift CS pedestrian stackers, which have since delivered outstanding safety improvements and operational success.

This week, we were delighted to deliver 4 brand-new machines, replacing the originals which have over 10,000 hours on them. These particular machines are tailored specifically for handling cardboard octabins and bulk bags, with enhanced load protection to prevent damage and fast, opportunity-charging Exide Group Tensor batteries to meet the demands of their 24/7 operations.
