A mix of Hyster Big Trucks and lower capacity Fortens forklift trucks are helping to deliver a low cost of operation to logistics service provider S.A. TALKE in Saudi Arabia.

Focussed on the logistics of chemical products, the S.A. TALKE group provides supply chain solutions including transport, packaging and storage, complemented by a wide range of added value services.

The Hyster equipment, which includes RS45-31CH ReachStackers and H2.5FT Fortens LPG counterbalance forklift trucks is required across the site for loading, picking, palletising, storing, transferring goods, and stacking the containers.

The local Hyster distribution partner has provided the robust and dependable Hyster equipment on a full service maintenance contract, with an excellent level of dedicated, local support from a 24 hour, on-site maintenance crew, which helps S.A. TALKE to effectively manage the equipment and improve overall efficiency.

A strong relationship has been developed between S.A. TALKE, Hyster and the distribution partner. The tough Hyster equipment helps to enhance efficiency and is supported by the reliable service, including driver training, which helps to boost performance and reduce downtime.
