Opportunity for logistics upgrade

BARGAINS: FORKLIFTS, PICKERS AND PALLET TRUCKS

‘We are seeing concerns scaling up business rapidly to keep up with demand.’

Alarge assortment of Linde forklifts, forklift trucks, pickers, pallet trucks and more will be brought to market by Park Village Auctions (PVA) via national webcast auction on Tuesday.

PVA’s Werner Burger points out that the auction represents a superb opportunity for warehousing, distribution and logistics operations that need to scale thanks to the eCommerce boom.

“Online shopping has exploded, and we are seeing 3PL concerns scaling up business rapidly to keep up with the demand.

“Some retailers have even taken warehousing and distribution in house. Anyone that needs to pack and pick stock stands to benefit from enormous savings on otherwise costly capital equipment,” says Burger.

Linde forkli s to be sold include:

An E-386-E20PH and an E-386E20PH electric; H25D, H60D, H30D, and H18D diesel forklifts.

A Linde WH-132-N20 Electric and V48 Electric make up the order pickers on offer.
