Factory-refurbished forklifts will be on sale.

Forklift and materials handling specialist Jungheinrich is to open its first new additional regional sales centre in almost 20 years at the Crossways Business Park, Dartford, Kent. The location is a popular site for those in the logistics supply chain, with a host of freight forwarders and warehousing suppliers in the vicinity, sitting as it does alongside the M25 motorway on the Kent/Essex border.

The expansion of the sales and showroom network will be marked with a two-day product showcase on 18-19 May.

Over the two open days at Jungheinrich's new Fork Court in Dartford, visitors will have the chance to view a range of factory-refurbished Jungheinrich materials handling equipment.

Neil Warren, Jungheinrich UK's used equipment and short-term rental director, says the new 4,700 sqft. (435 sqm) Dartford showroom enables Jungheinrich to be more responsive to customer needs in Kent and the surrounding area. "In effect, we will become a local player in Kent and the region.

"I hope we will see many local companies represented at our special opening event," he adds.
