About Us
At Bongaree Forklifts and Mini Loaders, we bring over 30 years of hands-on experience in the forklift and earthmoving industry. Our founder, Gordon Oates, started his career as an apprentice mechanic before moving into the motor trade and w
orking with leading names like Crown Lift Trucks and Toyota. Over the years, he has serviced everything from 2-ton warehouse forklifts to massive 90-ton machines.
Gordon previously built and ran Budget Forks, supporting major corporations Australia-wide, before founding Bongaree Forklifts and Mini Loaders 7 years ago. Since then, the business has grown from the ground up—importing quality equipment from overseas, selling and servicing forklifts and earthmoving gear of all brands, and providing reliable support across electrical, hydraulic, and internal combustion systems.
