Deal signed to distribute Swedish reach stackers in UKUK-based port handling equipment provider Cooper Specialised Handling, has been named as the exclusive distributor for Swedish-headquartered reach stacker manufacturing specialist Camblift, throughout the UK and Ireland, effective immediately.
Camblift, founded in 2019 and based in Ljungby, Sweden, produced its first reach stacker in 2022.
It now boasts a portfolio of 30 models across five wheelbases and three drivetrain options: an 11L Volvo engine with TE30 transmission, an 8L Volvo engine with HVT transmission, and a fully battery-electric configuration.
Each model is available in either top-lift or combined top-and-bottom lift variants and can be configured for industrial applications within the wind, energy, and steel sectors, Cooper states.
The battery-electric models provide future-proof flexibility, allowing additional battery packs to be installed post-delivery should operational demands or shift patterns evolve.
Cooper adds the Camblift machines, designed and built in Sweden, “are widely regarded as the most advanced reach stackers available on the market today”.
The machines feature a strong focus on operator comfort, user interface, intelligent machine design, and maximising maintenance uptime.
“By combining Camblift's cutting-edge Swedish design and manufacturing with Cooper Specialised Handling's established market presence…the partnership introduces a compelling new proposition for ports and industrial operators across the UK and Ireland,” Cooper Specialised handling states.
For Cooper Specialised Handling, the partnership marks a return to Swedish-manufactured reach stackers, following the successful launch of the, then unknown, SMV range in 1998.
“We are extremely proud to be partnering with Camblift,” says David Cooper, owner and executive director of Cooper Specialised Handling. “What they have developed is a truly exceptional machine.
“This partnership represents far more than a new product range; it is a shared vision for the future of reach stacker design and customer support.”
In addition to Camblift products, Cooper Specialised Handling is a distributor SveTruck heavy forklifts from Sweden, and Mantsinen hydraulic cranes and Movella translifters from Finland.
