Machines waiting at the crossing, not on their way to it.
Forklifts, cranes and lifting gear kept on station, with the crews to operate them.
The slowest part of a border move is usually waiting for a machine to arrive. We keep ours at the crossings, in a range of capacities, so a shipment is handled when it turns up rather than when equipment becomes free.
Forklifts in multiple capacities
From light units for palletised goods up to heavy-capacity machines for dense industrial loads, so nothing is handled by a machine that is straining at it.
Mobile and gantry cranes
For pieces beyond forklift reach or weight: machinery, structural sections and anything that has to come off the top rather than the side.
Winches and recovery gear
For shifted loads, awkward positioning and cargo that needs to be drawn rather than lifted.
Attachments and handling gear
Slings, spreaders, clamps and drum handlers, so bagged, drummed and irregular cargo is picked up the way it is designed to be picked up.
Certified operators
The equipment comes with people who use it every day. Damage at a border is expensive to argue about and slow to resolve.
Maintained in-house
Our own workshop services the fleet on a schedule, because a forklift out of action at a crossing stops more than one shipment.
