Goscor Lift Truck Company has delivered Botswana's first-ever Crown TSP VNA turret truck to Zebra Hub of Excellence

Goscor Lift Truck Company (GLTC), distributor of Crown in South Africa, has delivered its first Crown TSP VNA (very narrow aisle) turret truck to Botswana.

The vehicle was delivered to freight and logistics provider Zebra Hub of Excellence (ZHE).

"This is an important milestone for us," says GLTC MD Darryl Shafto. "ZHE is one of the most respected companies in the warehousing and logistics industry in this region and to get our first VNA turret truck in Botswana into their operation is something we can be proud of."

He adds that in these challenging economic times with warehousing space at a premium, VNA warehousing equipment is becoming more and more important with respect to bottom-line saving, and the Crown TSP 6000 Turret Truck, the model which ZHE bought, is the best of its kind.

The Crown TSP 6000 Turret Truck has a lifting capacity of 1,250 kg and a lift height of 11.7 m. Its 48 V AC motor allows for faster handling and control.

Privately-owned ZHE has its head office in the country's capital, Gaborone, with additional hubs in Francistown, Maun, Palapye and Jwaneng. The company's main services include freight forwarding, customs clearance, couriering and 3PL.

Brenda Gerber, director of Coastal Hire in Gaborone who did the deal with ZHE, says that this has been a most exciting exercise. "The machine is state of the art and is performing beyond all expectations. The installation went very smoothly and the Goscor team's training was very professional," Gerber says.
