Fork Truck Specialists

Merry Christmas anyone who is after a new low usage forklift! 🎄

Spot the difference!!!!!! Which one is the new one straight out of Japan and which one is the fully refurbished unit straight out of Shane’s hot little hand! We offer a fully refurbished program for any second hand units 🤩

It was wonderful to have one of our long term customers sign up for x4 TCM units which will be delivered later this week! A bit of Jungheinrich royalty was also in attendance today with the presence of Craig Daniel and David Cavaiuolo to celebrate the growth of FTS and being runner up in TCM dealer of the year 🥈. Thank you to all of our customers who have supported us this year, and if you are looking for a new forklift ( or second hand ) please do give us a call!

Welcome to the dirty 30’s Shane! Happy birthday mate 🥳 we all hope you have a wonderful day 🎂

Positive feedback is so rewarding 🏆

From a new customer in Launceston today-
“ Hello Rick, as per our conversation, if your tech is ever in the Launceston area again, could you get him to call in and tune the Toyota as the guy was a magician on the Nissan and it has never run so well!

Everyone of my guys has said he can service all our forks in the future as he fixed things on the Nissan that we put up with for years as every other company we’ve tried used the excuse it’s old and the best they can do.

Please forward this to management as he is a credit to your business “

Thank you for your positive feedback and we are very aware and grateful to all of our capable service techs 🏆.

FTS prides itself on providing reliable service for repairs and breakdowns and we can work on any brand of materials handling equipment *

* we avoid the cheap Chinese products like the plague ( and advise you to do the same ) as you can’t get parts for all of them…..

Seems legit 😂

Does your workplace deal with heavy metals or other harmful materials that need to be cleaned? The good people at Tas Rail do, and they care for their employees so much that they bought a heavy duty sweeper complete with HEPA filtration systems that will filter particles down to 3 micron. HEPA “like” is not the same, and does not protect your lungs, so beware of imitations! Tennant is THE leading brand when it comes to your health and your workplace cleanliness.

Another birthday and a star of the week! Happy birthday Karen 🎉🥳 and star of the week Scotty for being an amazing team member and going above and beyond ❤️

Happy birthday to the youngest man in the team! Thanks for coming in to celebrate your birthday on your day off! 🥳🥳
