XL Lifts has partnered with Wiggins Lift Company to distribute the Wiggins Marina eBull forklift west of the Mississippi River (excluding Texas) and in the Great Lakes region. Taylor Machine Works will continue to distribute Wiggins marina products in all other regions.

The Wiggins Marina eBull is the first commercialised lithium-battery, large-capacity, zero-emissions marina forklift and follows the launch of the Yard eBull for port and terminal operators and manufacturers, logistics, warehousing, industrial and construction companies.

The Marina eBull offers a large range of capacities to meet varying boat-handling needs.

Wiggins' director of sales, Micah McDowell, says: "Marinas no longer need to choose between high-performance and energy-efficiency forklifts; they can now have both with the new Wiggins Marina eBull."

"The new Marina eBull will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sound pollution while providing marinas and boatyards with the horsepower required to run their operations," says Mike Marzahl, president of XL Lifts. "With the introduction of the Wiggins Marina eBull, XL Lifts now has a full range of electric forklifts to meet our marina and boatyard clients' needs."
