Lisbon, Portugal
Thursday, 27 Sep 2001
LISBON, Portugal -- Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has appointed Barloworld Empilhadores as its exclusive Portuguese distributor, following the expiry of the forklift maker's contract with Pinto Basto Movimentacao de Cargas Ltd.
Effective immediately, Barloworld Empilhadores will be sole distributor for Mitsubishi's full range of electric, diesel and gas forklift and warehouse trucks in Portugal, through its bases in Lisbon and Porto.
Products include power pallet trucks, order pickers, stacker trucks, regular and multi-directional reach trucks and turret trucks.
Barloworld Empilhadores is a subsidiary of South Africa-based Barloworld. The company's United Kingdom subsidiary, which is Hyster's exclusive UK dealer, has announced plans to establish a finance arm to facilitate hire-purchase for customers.
Spokesman Colin Pemberton told the Manchester Evening News that the new arm, Barloworld Fleet Rentals, would meet a demand for finance and maintenance packages for materials handling equipment.
