Forklift News - Rough terrain niche attacked

The Agria excels in agricultural, mining and construction applications.

Spain’s Agria rough terrain forklifts are finding a niche in the Australian market. Since their introduction into Australia last year, the company has already supplied over 30 units into the market.

Manufactured by Agrimac, the forklifts are available in Australia for wholesale sale through Adapt-A-Lift (AAL) Imports or for retail and rental through major distributors.

According to AAL’s Imports business manager Alicia Whiffen, the Agria is a tough, rough-terrain 4WD forklift that is specifically designed to work in difficult conditions and especially where rough terrain or limited access defeats other machines.

"It excels in any application from agricultural, mining and construction to working off the back of a brick truck," she tells Forkliftaction.com News.

Three models are available with lift capacities of 1,600-3,000kg and lift heights up to 6,000mm. The Agria is powered by either a Deutz or Perkins diesel engine. Driver comfort and ease of operation are important features of the Agria, with excellent visibility due to the high mounted driver’s cabin. The forklifts are also equipped with hydrostatic transmission and steering and a double service brake system. Sideshift is fitted as standard.

Whiffen adds that the strategic alliance between Agrimac and AAL Imports is providing excellent service and product support with factory-trained service technicians and customer service officers in each state.

"The Agria Rough Terrain forklift is a welcome addition to our already very successful range which includes both the European-built Combilift multi-directional forklifts and the Aisle-Master narrow-aisle articulated forklifts."
