After the devastating Brisbane floods, materials handling company Custom Forklift Sales (CFS) has reopened its doors with a new distributorship and hot priced forklifts.

The company has received its first shipment of Chinese G-Series forklifts from Heli and is currently delivering units to rental customers.

Anhui Heli has continued to raise the bar, being ranked the eighth top global manufacturer ranked by revenue.

The group was also recently awarded the 2010 National Torch Project certificate and National Key New Product certificate.

Domestic sales have increased by 23 percent year-on-year in 2009 and market share in China has grown by 5.2 percent. This compares to a 39 percent drop in global forklift sales volume and a 17 percent decline in China’s forklift sales.

According to Heli Americas CEO Bruce Pelynio, Anhui Heli was to produce in excess of 50,000 units in 2010.

“There is no doubt the market is favourably acknowledging the quality materials that go into the Heli brand, such as Nissan engines and Kubota diesel engines,” Pelynio says.

CFS General Manager David Arndell says his team is very proud to be a part of a global brand that is available to the Queensland market at the right price.

“We will continue to offer our full range of major used forklift brands with service and after sales support provided by the CFS repairs and maintenance team.”
