Terberg Kinglifter - specialists in truck-mounted forklifts
Many distribution operations make deliveries to sites where there are no forklifts available for unloading the truck.
Terberg Kinglifter has a perfect solution for this: a forklift which mounts on the back of a truck. Once at the delivery site the forklift is lowered to the ground and can then unload the truck. Once finished, it only takes a few minutes to mount the Kinglifter on the truck again, ready to travel to the next drop-off point. Versatile Kinglifters are available in three models, from a compact unit for use in city centres to a heavy- duty one for unloading building materials at construction sites. They are available with one or three driven wheels and there is a 4-way version for carrying long materials such as timber. One of the key features is that Kinglifters are highly robust, to withstand the elements and vibration when carried on the back of a truck. For this reason they incorporate many stainless steel components and panels, to ensure reliable operation and a good appearance after many years hard work. The patented scissor mast makes it possible to unload a truck from one side, for improved safety and efficiency. Electric The electric version has proven to be very popular with operators as it is more powerful and quieter than the diesel units. It is available in a range of configurations to cover all applications. Optionally the unit can be recharged while mounted on the truck, so there is no need to recharge it at the depot. Factory expansion Kinglifter builds the units at its plant in the Netherlands. Due to continuing growth the company will relocate to much larger premises in the area next year. The new production line
is being designed with input from colleagues at Benschop. Service The forklifts are supplied and serviced by Terberg Kinglifter directly and by a dealer network and next day parts delivery throughout Europe. Director Bert Terberg “Customers only buy a second unit if the first one is supported by excellent service.”
