Heavy cargo and container handling equipment specialist Big Forklifts recently supplied a gantry crane to handle precast concrete on a major project in Sydney
Since 1984, Forklift Traders – now with its new branding Big Forklifts PTY Limited – has been at the very centre of the material handling equipment industry.
Over this time, the business has built a reputation as one of the most respected names for companies using heavy duty general cargo forklifts, specialised container handling forklifts, and reach stackers.
Big Forklifts also offers a range of other terminal handling equipment, including straddle carriers, terminal tractors, and roll trailers.
Various options are available to its customers, whether it’s procuring a brand-new piece of equipment, used machinery, or hiring a product on a long or short-term basis.
Several leading material handling equipment brands with extensive experience are offered by Big Forklifts – such as Mafi and Hyster – so customers know they can count on the grunt of its machinery to get any job done.
Ensuring minimal machinery downtime for its customers is critical for Big Forklifts, and it’s why the business provides thorough appraisals and maintenance.
Delivering machinery across Australia and overseas, Big Forklifts prides itself on providing solutions for a wide range of applications, not just handling containerised freight.
Remote mine sites and agricultural companies have even benefited from Big Forklifts’ machinery, alongside road and rail operations.
Most recently, Big Forklifts supplied an Isolader 21 rubber tyre crane gantry to New South Wales-based Concrete Structures for the new Sydney Fish Market project.
This authentic operating fish market facility is expected to be a major food and dining attraction on Sydney’s inner harbour.
Concrete Structures director Carmine Coiro says the Isoloader 21 was successful in handling precast concrete, which the business produced for the project.
“I would buy another one in a heartbeat if I win another project where this solution fits,” Coiro says.
Big Forklifts currently has two Isoloader HL-PC-35 rubber tyre gantry cranes, which can also be used for precast concrete handling.
With a safe working load of 35-tonnes, these machines are available to be sold separately, or as a duo that can tandem lift and walk.
