The three-tiered offering will helps customers select the best equipment for their specific requirements in almost any type of business according to price, intensity, environment, service requirements, dimensions and many other factors, said a statement.

As the authorised Hyster and Utilev distribution partner in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Qatar, Kanoo Machinery introduced  the Hyster Fortens for premium, feature-rich forklifts and the new Hyster TX for tough, self-service and lower cost forklifts in five capacities ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 tonnes, with engine options covering diesel, LPG, petrol or dual fuel to meet a wide range of applications requiring streamlined solutions, from logistics to manufacturing, agriculture and construction.

In addition, Kanoo Machinery also featured a lower intensity, utility range from Utilev, a sister Nacco Materials Handling Group (NMHG) company.

NMHG is a leading global designer, engineer and manufacturer of materials handling equipment offering a comprehensive range of these type of trucks in the industry.

James Newman, area business director – Middle East and Africa, NMHG, said: “Our mission is to deliver high-quality, application tailored lift trucks, offering the lowest cost of ownership, outstanding parts and service support and best overall value to customers all around the globe.”

Deon Klerck, divisional manager, Kanoo Machinery, said: “Innovation continues to be a very important value for Kanoo Machinery. For us, a big part of this involves understanding and responding to customer requirements. The material handling equipment industry in the Middle East market is quite different from elsewhere in the world and requires solutions that are specific to the region.

“For this reason, we have been working very closely with NMHG for the last 12 months in an effort to develop products that cater to these specific needs and we are very excited to reveal the result of this hard work. We now offer the market three significantly different value solutions in the mainstream three tonne diesel forklift truck market segment.” - TradeArabia News Service
