Fork Force Australia, newly appointed distributor of the Italian manufactured Pramac brand of walkie stackers, believes the lightweight range offers European high quality at lower-than-expected prices.
Marketing manager Tracey Johnson tells Forkliftaction.com News that the company was appointed the exclusive Australian distributor (excluding WA) this month, and is looking to appoint forklift dealers to sell the range in certain areas of the country.
With a turning radius of 1,460mm, lift height of 2,500mm to 3,800mm and with 1,200kg lift capacity, the walkie stackers, which do not require a forklift licence to operate, are available at around half the price of a conventional forklift.
"They are extremely versatile when handling different size loads, and with maintenance-free batteries and a built-in charger, they are the ideal choice for lightweight warehouse applications.
"Typical applications might include on-board delivery trucks as they are compact, lightweight and can be easily transported and lowered onto a tailgate loader and then used to transport goods into the warehouse," she adds.
Interest has been high, and the company expects to sell over 100 units over the next year.
"We’ve already sold over 50 units to various businesses including those involved in food manufacturing, parts and spares, retail shops, hire and event management, and various smaller warehouses," says Johnson.
