HYSTER and Yale dealer BHBW South Africa has strengthened its offering to the materials handling market with the addition of a third global brand, Motrec, to its line-up.
BHBW announced its partnership with Motrec International, a leader in electric industrial vehicle manufacturing, towards the end of last year.
As the official distributor of Motrec products in southern Africa, BHBW now offers a wide range of innovative electric utility vehicles to businesses across the region, in addition to Hyster and Yale lift trucks and warehouse equipment.
Motrec International, headquartered in Sherbrooke, Canada, is renowned for its cutting-edge solutions in the electric vehicle industry.
Their vehicles are known for their exceptional quality, reliability and sustainability. By joining forces with Motrec, BHBW is poised to revolutionise the southern African market with these advanced electric utility vehicles, designed to enhance operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact and improve overall productivity.
Motrec sales director, Marc Breton, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership.
“Motrec International is thrilled to partner with BHBW as our official distributor in southern Africa. We are confident that BHBW’s extensive industry expertise and commitment to providing top-notch customer service align perfectly with our vision. This partnership will empower businesses across southern Africa with access to our state-of-the-art electric vehicles, promoting sustainability and productivity in the region.”
BHBW CEO Mark Hughes said: “We believe that our partnership with Motrec International is a game-changer for the southern African market. Motrec’s innovative electric vehicles are a perfect fit for the region’s growing demand for sustainable solutions. With Motrec’s exceptional product lineup and our commitment to customer satisfaction, we are confident that we will provide southern African businesses with unparalleled choices for their materials handling needs.”
Yale lift trucks
BHBW last year also introduced Yale lift trucks to the South African market following its appointment by Hyster-Yale Group as a dual Hyster and Yale dealer.
BHBW, which has more than 90 years’ experience in materials handling as a Hyster dealer, now also offers the full line of Yale counterbalance forklift trucks and warehouse equipment to South African customers.
The Yale line-up includes warehouse equipment ranging from small pallet trucks to very narrow aisle turret trucks, working up to 18,3 m high, electric, diesel, LP-gas and dual-fuel powered and internal combustion engine counterbalance lift trucks, with lifting capacities up to 16 tonnes, and customer-specific solutions.
Yale Lift Truck Technologies is a leading global materials handling brand, with equipment manufactured in 12 production facilities worldwide. The company was rebranded to Yale Lift Truck Technologies in 2023 to reflect its focus on providing technology-enabled solutions in warehousing and intralogistics in particular.
“Yale is a powerful brand with a proven track record, and a perfect fit for BHBW with its customer-driven focus on product and service excellence,” said Hughes. “In partnership with Yale Lift Truck Technologies, we look forward to unlocking the potential of the Yale brand in the local market and growing our customer base.”
