Mobicon Systems, in partnership with their South African distributor, BLT World, has launched the second-generation 2HL mini-straddle carrier in Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. 

The mini-straddle carrier is a key piece of machinery in BLT’s extensive range of container handling equipment.  

With the launch of the second-generation 2HL, African businesses can now experience greater productivity with a tighter turning circle, remote twist lock system, and an ergonomically designed cabin for increased visibility.  

Mobicon mini straddle carriers are available exclusively throughout Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands from BLT World as rentals or for purchase. 

BLT World was founded in 2005 and specialises in trading machine components for the materials handling industry. Besides equipment sales, the company offers technical support and maintenance.

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
