Some manufacturers chase volume. Others chase quality.

For nearly 50 years, SveTruck has remained remarkably consistent in its approach to building heavy-duty forklifts. While many companies have expanded production year after year, SveTruck has stayed true to a philosophy that puts craftsmanship, durability, and customer satisfaction ahead of volume.

In fact, SveTruck produces roughly the same number of machines today as it did decades ago. Why? Because they understand something that is often forgotten in modern manufacturing: scaling production can sometimes come at the expense of the details that create true quality.

The result is a level of owner loyalty that is likely the highest in the industry. Speak to SveTruck customers and you'll quickly notice something unique. It feels less like a competitive marketplace and more like an owner’s club who understand the value of a machine built without compromise.

Year after year, the quality remains consistent. Year after year, customers come back.

In a world where bigger is often seen as better, SveTruck continues to prove that maintaining exceptional standards matters more than chasing production records. Their commitment is simple: quality first, volume second.

And perhaps that's exactly why so many SveTruck owners wouldn't consider anything else.

Back in Black

Some machines do more than perform. They make a statement.

Camblift's distinctive black livery has become synonymous with strength, quality, and purpose. Bold in appearance and uncompromising in capability, every Camblift is designed to stand out for the right reasons.

While the striking black finish immediately catches the eye, it's what lies beneath that truly defines a Camblift. Every machine is the result of careful engineering, practical innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

From operator comfort and visibility to durability, reliability, and ease of maintenance, every detail is considered. Nothing is accidental. Every design decision is made with performance, productivity, and long-term ownership in mind.

Like the famous AC/DC anthem, Camblift is proudly Back in Black. Not as a nod to nostalgia, but as a reflection of confidence in a product built to excel in the most demanding environments.

The black finish isn't just a colour scheme. It's a visual representation of the values behind the brand: robust engineering, premium quality, and a relentless focus on getting the job done right.

In an industry where compromise can be tempting, Camblift continues to demonstrate that exceptional engineering and exceptional presence can go hand in hand. It simply looks great too!

Bold by design. Built with purpose. Finished in black.

A UK & Ireland first for Mantsinen Dual Power

A landmark investment. A UK and Ireland first. And, we believe, the first of many.

Cooper Specialised Handling is delighted to announce that Shoreham Port has placed an order for a Mantsinen 140DEM Dual Power material handler, becoming the first operator in the UK and Ireland to invest in this innovative technology.

For us, what makes Dual Power particularly exciting is its practicality.

The 140DEM delivers identical operating performance whether running on its diesel engine or connected to mains electricity. It means Shoreham can utilise renewable HVO fuel today, operate fully electrically where infrastructure permits, and independently travel between working locations before reconnecting to the electrical supply.

It provides a genuine pathway towards decarbonisation without sacrificing the mobility, flexibility or productivity demanded by a modern port operation.

As part of the evaluation process, the Shoreham team travelled to Denmark to see a near-identical 140DEM Dual Power machine already working in a demanding port environment. Seeing the concept successfully proven in day-to-day operation provided further confidence ahead of this landmark investment.

David Cooper, Director of Cooper Specialised Handling, commented:

“Congratulations to everyone at Shoreham Port for their vision and becoming the first organisation in the UK and Ireland to invest in Mantsinen Dual Power technology. Dual Power has already generated significant interest across the UK and Ireland. We believe Shoreham’s decision represents a defining moment for the sector and will be the first of many Dual Power installations in the region.”

We’re immensely proud to be supporting Shoreham Port with this pioneering project and to be working with an organisation prepared to lead rather than follow in the transition towards more sustainable port operations.

The machine is scheduled to enter service in late Spring 2027.

Welcoming Liam Floyd to Cooper Specialised Handling

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Liam Floyd as Sales Manager - Mobile Equipment at Cooper Specialised Handling.

Liam joins Cooper with an impressive track record of success within the high-volume forklift market, where he has consistently demonstrated strong customer focus, commercial acumen and an ability to develop lasting customer relationships. He now embarks upon an exciting new chapter as he enters the specialist world of heavy-capacity equipment serving ports, terminals, logistics hubs, heavy industry and the nuclear sector.

Liam has already hit the ground running. Last week he travelled to Ljungby, Sweden, where he spent time with our partners at Camblift and SveTruck, acquainting himself with the people, products and expertise behind two key brands within our mobile equipment portfolio.

The visit provided Liam with an invaluable introduction to the engineering, manufacturing and product knowledge that underpin both Camblift reachstackers and SveTruck heavy lift trucks, while also beginning to build the close relationships with our manufacturing partners that are so important in delivering the right solutions and support to our customers.

As Cooper Specialised Handling continues to grow, we recently made the strategic decision to separate the sales functions of our mobile equipment and bulk handling equipment divisions. This approach allows our customers to benefit from even greater product expertise and market focus, while ensuring we continue to deliver the specialist knowledge that has become synonymous with the Cooper name.

At the same time, the close relationship between our divisions creates significant opportunities for collaboration and cross-selling, particularly among customers operating across ports, terminals, steel, rail, energy and heavy industrial applications. Liam's appointment will play an important role in strengthening these opportunities and expanding our presence across these key sectors.

With his first visit to Sweden now under his belt, Liam is already building his knowledge of the specialist equipment, applications and people that make this market so distinctive.

Please join us in welcoming Liam to the Cooper team and wishing him every success in this exciting new role.

The Innovators

If you want to know where the material-handler market is heading, history shows one simple truth: the industry follows Mantsinen.

· When Mantsinen introduced Hybrilift, they weren’t copying energy-recovery systems they were the first to apply them to material handlers. Others had to follow.

· When Mantsinen pioneered extended pantograph cab arms, they set a new standard. Once the patent eventually expired, others followed.

· When Mantsinen broke the 250-tonne GVW barrier with a 40-metre boom and stick on the 200 series in 2008, others followed.

· When Mantsinen entered Panamax-sized vessel loading with the 300 in 2017, others eventually followed.

· When Mantsinen rolled out a full telematics suite in 2016, others followed.

· When Mantsinen launched Dual Power; electric and diesel in one machine. Others haven’t followed yet.

· When Mantsinen unveiled 2nd-generation Hybrilift to increase energy consumption yet further, others couldn’t follow - the patents still stand.

Across every major leap in this industry, the pattern is the same: Mantsinen leads. The market reacts.

Mantsinen don’t wait for the future; they build it. The only obvious question remains: where will they take this industry next?

Rethinking Stockpiling: Why a Telestack Conveyor Outperforms a Loading Shovel



When it comes to building clean, consistent stockpiles, the method you choose makes all the difference.



A Telestack stockpiling conveyor feeds material from the top, placing it gently and evenly to create a natural, uniform pile. In contrast, a loading shovel with a 10‑metre pusher blade pushes material from the bottom, and a significant portion, often around 30%, simply rolls back down the face of the pile. That rollback means extra movements, more fuel burn, additional machine hours and unnecessary product degradation as material is repeatedly disturbed.



A Telestack conveyor eliminates these inefficiencies. By working with gravity instead of against it, it builds a cleaner, more consistent stockpile with greater height, far less rehandling and far better product integrity. The result is a safer, more efficient and more cost‑effective operation.



Sometimes the smartest solution is the one that keeps the material flowing the way nature intended.

Choosing the right spreader drive system matters.



On an STS crane, the spreader is the “hand” that grips the box and RAM Spreaders offers three proven drive philosophies to match different terminal needs.



2400 Series – Electro‑hydraulic (Single Lift) A robust, familiar hydraulic design powered from the crane. Ideal for terminals wanting heavy‑duty single‑lift performance for 20/40/45 ft containers, with capacities up to 51 tonnes.



2900 Series – Hydraulic Twinlift with CenterSpread Maximum flexibility for STS operations. Handles single containers or twin‑20s, with adjustable gaps up to 1,600 mm. Perfect where twin‑20 productivity is commercially important.



3400 & 3900 Series – All‑Electric No hydraulics, no oil, less maintenance. Electric drives improve uptime, environmental performance and safety. Available in both single‑lift and twinlift Center Spread configurations.



Each philosophy offers its own strengths; from heavy‑duty hydraulic power to clean, efficient all‑electric operation, giving terminals the freedom to choose the system that best fits their operational strategy.

U-Load if you want to



The U‑Loader is built around one powerful idea: your load should stay safe, stable and fully protected inside the trailer from start to finish.



No external lifting. No exposure to damage. No unnecessary handling.



Just a clean, controlled, one‑operator system that keeps the load exactly where it should be; secure within the trailer’s structure, while boosting efficiency across the entire workflow.



For teams who value safety, reliability and predictable performance, the U‑Loader isn’t just an upgrade… it’s a smarter way of working from Cooper.

Rear Ends



There’s been a noticeable rise in industry chatter recently about counterweights and ballasts. These components rarely get the attention they deserve, yet they are absolutely fundamental to a machine’s stability. For designers, the challenge is always the same: achieving the right weight, at the right distance, without compromising rearward visibility.



When developing the Camblift reachstacker, the design team added another layer of complexity - maintenance access. Although they brought deep experience from their previous careers as reachstacker designers, they openly acknowledged that they had never been the ones performing maintenance on a steer axle positioned directly beneath a counterweight.



After speaking with customers, they heard the same message repeatedly: tight spaces, awkward access, and difficult working conditions. The request was clear. Increase the space below the counterweight, but without sacrificing weight distribution, visibility or safety.



The result is impressive. Camblift’s counterweight is beautifully sculpted from steel, with an intelligent redistribution of mass that maintains stability and visibility while creating significantly more room for maintenance engineers. A simple idea, executed with real engineering intelligence.
