Big Lift Trucks, distributors of industrial forklifts and container handling equipment, has been appointed by Capacity of Texas as the principal dealer for Australia.

"Big Lift Trucks, with its head office in Brisbane and a recently established facility in Perth, now distributes Capacity terminal tractors throughout Australia," said Gerry van Elden, sales and marketing manager, Big Lift Trucks Australia. "An important part of the company's service to Capacity is the ready availability of terminal tractors, spares and accessories, with the support of a technical advisory, repair and maintenance service."

Capacity terminal tractors can be customised for specific handling tasks. Other claimed advantages of these machines include reduced emissions for enhanced environmental protection and the latest technology in fuel savings, which is said to significantly lower operational and maintenance costs. Improved driver ergonomics ensures comfortable operation in all environments, which contributes to reduced fatigue and improved productivity.

Big Lift Trucks Australia is a part of a global group of materials handling specialists. Specialist areas of business include transport, freight, manufacturing, mining, shipping, agriculture, food and beverage, paper and packaging, as well as warehousing.

The company also distributes a range of Taylor forklift trucks, container handlers and reach stackers throughout Australia.
