Against all odds during a global pandemic, lengthy stock delays and sporadic lockdowns, an Australian forklift company has recently experienced rapid growth. This growth has allowed them to expand Australia-wide, provide up to 5-year warranties on new forklifts and launch a new brand of budget-friendly forklifts, all of which is great news for Aussie consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forklifts Direct is an Australian owned and operated forklift company that sells new and used lithium electric, rough terrain, diesel, LPG, and articulated forklifts. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to their wide range of forklifts, they also sell various warehousing equipment that includes pallet movers, pallet stackers, order pickers and reach trucks, all powered by lithium electric batteries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their Recent Growth<\/span><\/h2>\n

Forklifts Direct Managing Director, David Clayton, says the business has grown very rapidly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have grown from supplying LPG and diesel forklifts to now having the widest range of zero-emission lithium electric forklifts available for sale and contract rentals in Australia. Lithium electric forklifts are now replacing the environmentally damaging LPG and diesel forklifts currently in use around Australia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the recent addition of global financier De Lage Landen, we can cater for any size rental fleet application in Australia,\u201d David adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forklifts Direct\u2019s rapid growth has allowed for an upgrade to a much larger warehouse, creating more space to hold floor stock. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the increased quantity output, their delivery capabilities have also grown. Using their network of suppliers, they can easily source and deliver the right forklift for any customer around Australia. <\/span><\/p>\n

David stated, \u201cOur newly released Xtreme Forklifts are targeted towards the price-conscious buyer who still requires a quality product and wishes to qualify for our nationwide 5-year warranty. The range provides products for warehousing, logistics, transport, wineries and general industry\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Xtreme brand\u2019s range focuses on new products that include lithium electric, 2WD and 4WD rough terrain, diesel, LPG, and articulated forklifts. Available from Xtreme Forklifts are also pallet movers, reach trucks, order pickers and pallet stackers, all powered by lithium electric batteries like their counterparts at Forklifts Direct.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with their range of lithium electric forklifts, the company has also found success in their rough terrain offerings. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur newly released Xtreme 2WD and 4WD rough terrain forklifts have capacities ranging from 2.5 to 5 ton. They are available Australia-wide from Forklifts Direct, including 5-year warranty on all new purchases. They are fitted with Yanmar diesel engines to ensure both reliability and performance,\u201d says David.<\/span><\/p>\n
