New Hyundai Fork Truck distributor secures deal

Midlands-based forklift truck sales and service provider, Compact Fork Trucks is now the official Hyundai Material Handling importer for the West Midlands area. Compact Fork Truck’s key deciding factor was purely customer focused – improve their customer journey through direct access to Hyundai’s recently completed training academy, technical support and parts centres all located in Belgium.

Besblock , a Telford-based masonry manufacturer, recently purchased its second 70D-9 diesel forklift trucks from Compact Fork Truck. The Hyundai 70D-9 features a fully enclosed cabin, Grammer air suspension seat, air conditioning, radio and MP3 player. Safety features included panoramic front screen with front, top and rear wipers, rear view mirrors, safety lighting, beacon, rear CCTV and full road lighting with additional bespoke LED lights added to suit Besblock’s special requirements.

Besblock’s truck is also fitted with a bespoke integral ‘double block clamp’ for handling large packs of blocks, manufactured by Fabcon Engineering based in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, supplied by Wesco Engineering Services, located in Somerset and coordinated and fitted by Compact Fork Trucks in the Midlands. The same process will follow with the new machine when it arrives in the UK.
