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

The agreement extends across all Australian 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 began producing forklifts in 1953, and is presently the largest battery-electric materials handling equipment manufacturer in the world. It is considered the 3rd largest overall forklift manufacturer, with unit production exceeding 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 considerable 25 year experience in selling and servicing forklift trucks.

NTP Forklifts Australia national sales manager Damien Garvey said the agreement is of significant strategic importance to the NTP Group as it adds further depth to their existing equipment range, and well complements the range of TCM industrial forklifts that they currently distribute nationwide.

“Jungheinrich stands alone as a true innovator and world leader in the design and manufacture of materials handling equipment,” said Mr Garvey.

“Their attention to detail and use of advanced technology throughout their large product range is testament to the fact that they are considered the benchmark when it comes to battery electric warehouse equipment”.

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.

One of its latest products is a pantograph reach truck, now only available from two other American manufacturers. This will be the first European-manufactured type available in the Australian market and offer users a real alternative in this popular product for high level warehousing.

Jungheinrich has been distributed in Australia for over 30 years, so it is by no means is a new brand in the market.
