Global transportation and logistics company Toll Group has ordered over 40 trucks for its Australian operations through Konecranes' Australian distributor, United Forklift and Access Solutions.

The order, with an undisclosed value, consists of a wide range of forklifts, container lift trucks and reach stackers, all tailored to meet Toll's strict requirements and the harsh Australian climate and remote areas. All the vehicles will be fitted with TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring and numerous tailored features that help enhance safety, productivity and reliability.

Toll will start to receive deliveries in early 2019 at its sites across Australia, with United providing maintenance and technical support.

Patrik Lundbäck, Konecranes' sales director - lift trucks, says: "We are very happy and honoured to have received such a large order from Toll. This is one of the biggest orders ever for Konecranes lift trucks, and Australia is one of our largest markets. Through our distributor, United Forklifts and Access Solutions, Konecranes has delivered more than 500 lift trucks to customers in Australia in the last 20 years."

Trent Osborne, general manager of marketing, sales and distribution at United Forklift and Access Solutions, says: "We had a very strong offering with tailored innovative quality products from Konecranes; this, combined with our national service reach across Australia, gave Toll the solution and support they needed."
