NTP to distribute Jungheinrich forklifts

Materials handling company NTP Forklifts Australia has been appointed the Jungheinrich importer and distributor for Australia.

The agreement extends across all states and territories and allows NTP to sell the full Jungheinrich range, as well as provide after-sales service and spare parts.

Hamburg-based Jungheinrich, which began producing forklifts in 1953, presently is measured as the largest battery electric materials handling equipment manufacturer in the world. It is also considered the third largest overall forklift manufacturer, producing over 80,000 units during 2007.

The appointment has been hailed as an important step forward for both parties, with NTP gaining access to an extensive product range in the battery electric warehousing equipment sector and Jungheinrich benefiting from NTP’s national coverage and 25 years of experience in the industry.

Jungheinrich offers a complete battery electric range including powered pallet trucks, stackers, reach trucks, high/low level order pickers, counterbalanced forklifts and warehouse material flow systems.
