Material handling & lifting sourcing

Forklifts, aerial lifts, hoists: load-tested before shipment.

Distributors, rental companies, logistics providers and manufacturers: we source material handling, lifting and storage equipment from audited manufacturers, with load testing, a verified compliance file and spare parts planned.

In lifting equipment, a defect stays invisible until the day the load drops.

A poorly penetrated fork weld, an undersized hoist brake, a missing overload limiter, a rack beam thinner than the calculation: handling and lifting defects are rarely visible to the eye and costly in use.

On the ground

Our teams, as close to the factories as possible.

We work with specialized manufacturers, including the major forklift builders based in Hefei (Anhui), and with lifting and racking workshops that we audit ourselves. We check safety components (brakes, limiters, limit switches, chains and cables), have static and dynamic load tests performed at the factory, measure the thickness and welds of load-bearing elements, and review the technical file, load plate, manual and accessory certificates. For racking, we require the structural calculation report and the assembly drawing before production.

Scope

What we take care of.

Forklifts & stackers

Mast, forks, chains, braking, lead-acid or lithium battery and charger; data plate and load chart verified, load testing.

Aerial lifts & elevation

Stability, load limiter, emergency lowering, cylinders and welds checked; EN 280 or ANSI A92 file verified.

Hoists, cranes & accessories

Brakes, limit switches, utilization coefficient of slings and shackles, proof-load certificates per batch.

Racking & storage

Structural calculation to EN 15512, thickness and galvanization measured, assembly plan and load plates supplied.

Conveyors & automation

Belts, rollers, drives and controls, protective guards, operational testing before dismantling.

Parts & batteries

Wear-parts list, initial stock, transport of lithium batteries as dangerous goods.

Process

How we work.

  1. Need & use

    Loads, heights, cycles, environment (indoor, outdoor, cold), standards of the country of use.

  2. Manufacturers & quotes

    Pre-selection and audit, visit of welding lines and test benches, quotes compared component by component.

  3. Factory testing

    Static and dynamic load tests, safety devices, dimensional inspection of load-bearing components, report by serial number.

  4. Shipping & commissioning

    Packaging, lashing, customs clearance, delivery and commissioning with your installers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do the forklifts arrive ready to use?

Yes: mast mounted, batteries prepared according to transport regulations, charger matched to your power supply, manual in your language. Commissioning and operator training take place on site; we can coordinate them.

Can you equip a warehouse with racking?

Yes: load calculation, layout plan, manufacturing, guards and load plates. Installation is handled by local installers; we prepare packing by zone to make it easier.

What about on-site regulatory inspections?

Commissioning and periodic inspections are the user's responsibility, under each country's rules (LOLER in the UK, OSHA in the US, inspection bodies in Europe). We provide the documents your inspector will need.

Which rules apply to these products?

This equipment falls under machinery regulations and specific standards (EN ISO 3691-1 for forklifts, EN 280 for aerial work platforms, EN 14492 for winches and hoists, EN 15512 for racking), and at the user's site under strict rules such as LOLER in the UK or OSHA rules in the US. The lithium batteries in forklifts and aerial platforms add the constraints of dangerous goods transport.
