Forklift: Our company started in 1951 as a trader and manufacturer in Machinery. In 2006 we started a cooperation with a Chinese factory to enhance their forklifts and to adjust the forklifts to a European standard. Now we can supply new forklifts for a acceptable price equipped with the European market standards. We have 40 dealers now in Europe. We distribute the forklifts only by a dealer network because we do not want to supply the machines directly to the end user. Main reason for this is the service, every forklift needs service, the best and cheapest service can be given by a local dealer. That is how we keep the future service costs for the customers acceptable. Max Holland Introduces a new mast: Max Holland will be introducing the Extra Wide-View Triplexmast at the Logistica Trade Fair. With this particular mast the hoses and chains have been placed in such a manner that the operator has 40% more vision/view. Impairment of the view is one of the biggest problems the operator experiences. The way in which the mast is constructed and the cylinders have been placed is obstructive and often leads to damage. To avoid this, the operator has to have maximum vision of the vorks. The mast parts have been placed further apart in the new type of mast from Max Holland Forklift Europe. The chains and hoses have been mounted outside the vision area whereby the view, compared to a conventional triplexmast, has been widened by more than 40%. If the hoses and chains are taken into account, the widened view alongside the free-lift cylinder is 100%. This construction has been patented.
