Forklift parts veteran Peter Milliken has launched a new parts business based in Brisbane.

Velox Parts is a family-owned and -operated business, supplying the trade with parts for Toyota, Nissan, TCM, UniCarriers, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hyster and Yale machines.

Milliken, who started out in the forklift parts industry in 1986, claims to have pioneered the aftermarket forklift parts business in Australia for companies such as EMC and TVH.

"Having stepped away from the industry for 18 months, it became clear that supply options for customers to competitively source aftermarket forklift parts and accessories in Australia had become limited," the company says in a statement.

The business is trading online and has a shop front in Geebung, Brisbane.

Flexi® By Narrow Aisle Limited
Leading manufacturers of very narrow aisle (VNA) equipment.

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.

Words of support …

These releases in Forkliftaction are a nice experience for SNDC... We got seven inquiries coming from Canada, USA, Mexico, Israel and Australia (five from retailers, two from machines manufacturers) and we are still in contact with them. I can state that's a success story!
