KION North America Corporation has announced the appointment of All World Lift Truck to its dealer network, effective immediately.

The materials handling equipment dealer is now authorised to sell and service KION North America's full product line in central Florida, including Tampa, Orlando and Fort Myers.

All World Lift Truck has served central Florida for over 10 years from its headquarters in Tampa. The company offers a variety of materials handling products and services, including on-site service of all major brands, along with rentals and training.

Gilbert Adams, the majority owner of All World Lift Truck, is the second of three generations in the forklift industry. With him, he brings more than 40 years of experience. Other partners include Jorge Perez and comptroller Belinda Adams.

"With the fantastic products from the Linde and Baoli brands at our disposal, we can address the needs of both the most cost-conscious buyers, as well as those seeking premium products for demanding, and even abusive, applications," says Adams.

The two brands augment All World Lift Truck's current Clark offering.

All World Lift Trucks is the second dealership KION North America has added to its distribution network this year. Earlier this year, Carson Industries in western North Carolina added KION's brands.

"With an experienced and professional staff, All World Lift Trucks is well poised to take KION North America's market presence to new levels, while providing our current and future customers with the industry-leading service and support they have come to expect from us," says Christian Bischof, director of strategy and business development at KION North America.
