OEM/Dealer center: We train OEM representatives and operators as an extension of our service and support network. That way, they can take proper care of their engines on-site and focus on maximising productivity.
Electric forklifts: Regular duty cycles, access to charging, emissions reduction goals, fast-evolving battery technology and customized systems encourage electrification in material handling.
Hydrogen dual fuel reach stackers: Same reliable, high performance combustion engine platform but with reduced tailpipe emissions. When hydrogen runs low, other traditional fuels/HVO can be used to maximise uptime.
Hydrogen dual fuel straddle carriers: Same reliable, high performance combustion engine platform but with reduced tailpipe emissions. When hydrogen runs low, other traditional fuels/HVO can be used to maximise uptime.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Provides back up power, grid support and enable charging infrastructure while opening opportunities for renewable energy use.
Electric terminal tractors: Regular duty cycles, access to charging, emissions reduction goals, fast-evolving battery technology and customized systems encourage electrification in material handling.
Sustainability

Electric terminal tractors, forklifts and more

We are collaborating with manufacturers such as TICO and FTMH to co-develop emissions-free and fully electric terminal tractors, electric forklifts and more. Our modular systems and partnership approach will open future opportunities in electrifying more material handling applications.
