Big Lift Trucks, specialists in industrial forklift trucks and container handling equipment, is in the process of delivering six Taylor TEC 155H empty container handlers to a leading container operator. The machines will be used for container handling in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Darwin.

“Big Lift Trucks supports these machines with a ‘Taylor Sudden Service’ maintenance programme that ensures optimum performance and extended service life of every machine,” said Ken Mouritzen, managing director of Big Lift Trucks Australia.

“Assembly and commissioning of all machines is carried out by our technical manager, with the support of the maintenance team in each region. Operator training is also provided.”

The Taylor range of industrial forklifts has lift capacities from 7 – 42 metric tons. These container handlers are claimed to be reliable and easy to operate, and to require simplified maintenance.

Big Lift Trucks also distributes Taylor 4×4 and rough terrain forklift trucks, with capacities from 7 – 18 metric tons.

Capacity terminal tractors are also available from Big Lift Trucks for container handling in port operations and distribution centres. A claimed feature of these terminal tractors is reduced emissions for enhanced environmental protection and the latest technology in fuel savings, which significantly lowers operational and maintenance costs.

Big Lift Trucks has its head office in Brisbane, with branches in Melbourne and Perth. The company plans to open outlets in Sydney and Darwin in the near future.

The ready availability of quality branded equipment, spares and accessories throughout the country, is supported by a technical advisory, repair and maintenance service.
