Adaptalift Group has become the exclusive distributor of HYDI’s hydrogen systems for a range of heavy-duty machinery in the material handling sector
Hydrogen fuel-enhancement technology leader HYDI has announced the signing of a three-year distribution agreement with Adaptalift Group, one of Australia’s largest privately owned material handling solution providers.
Under this agreement, Adaptalift Group becomes the exclusive distributor of HYDI’s proprietary hydrogen systems for the material and container handling sectors across Australia, with the partnership aiming to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technology – helping businesses significantly reduce carbon emissions and operational fuel costs.
The HYDI system produces hydrogen on demand, which is delivered into the air intake of diesel engines to create a more efficient and complete combustion process.
“As the industry moves toward a greener future, our partnership with Adaptalift Group represents a pivotal step in making sustainable power accessible to the material handling market,” HYDI chairman and CEO Craig Bates says.
“Adaptalift’s extensive national footprint across Australia & New Zealand ensures that HYDI’s technology will reach the businesses that need it most to meet their 2026 and beyond ESG targets.”
A range of heavy-duty machinery will be covered across the exclusivity, including reach stackers, top lifters, straddle carriers, empty container handlers, as well as the full spectrum of forklifts and terminal tactors/ATVs.
The partnership will also extend to specialised attachments including material handling grabs used in the forestry and scrap metal industries.
“This exclusivity agreement reinforces our commitment to offering our clients the most advanced solutions available,” Adaptalift Group CEO Lindsay Whiffen says.
“By integrating HYDI’s hydrogen technology, we are providing our customers with a proven method to lower their carbon footprint and drastically reduce operating and maintenance costs.”
The three-year agreement is effective immediately, with rollout and installation services now available through Adaptalift’s national service network.
