If we have heard it once we have heard it a million times, that people in the warehousing and materials handling game – particularly here in Mackay – prefer LPG over electric forklifts. But think about this: Electric forklifts are better – pretty much across the board.

Here at Hyundai Forklifts Mackay we see all sorts of machines come through our doors needing repairs, everything from minor servicing to major work, and you guessed it: when it comes to the latter, it’s mainly, let’s just say, the more “affordable type” machine.

People…they can make or break your organisation – reputationally, legally and in the sense of morale and productivity. That’s why we invest in good people at Sirus Mining Solutions and Hyundai Forklifts Mackay.

Hyundai Forklifts Mackay has an impressive range of diesel and electric forklifts to make your FY2020 warehousing a breeze. Come in and have a chat to Tony, make the investment and do the right thing by your business – as this financial year starts to draw to a close.

Hyundai is leading the world in materials handling safety solutions. Most come as standard and what doesn’t are affordable extras. Hyundai Forklifts are built to a highest-quality market standard, unlike a lot of competitors which are built to a price. They make it their business to stay ahead of the pack in world-wide legislation changes.

New laws, regulations, standards and expectations have been thrust upon businesses like ours and yes it costs, and yes it can be a bit to get our heads around. But if doing this – and tightening our processes and procedures to make sure everyone gets to go home to those they love at the end of the shift, then surely it’s worth it.
I still come across people who whinge because we sell (and are proud to sell, by the way) forklifts with seatbelts.

There is nothing quite like starting a New Year with two dirty big cranes and a massive dozer. It was a pretty spectacular sight and it certainly got the adrenaline pumping on site when it was all going on.
I’m hoping those two cranes, and the ease with which they hauled that 20 tonnes of kit, are a bit of a sign of things to come for 2019.

It has been a bit of a bumpy ride these past few years in our part of the world. And, while this year hasn’t been a bed of roses, at least we might start seeing graphs with the lines heading in the right direction. Although cautious – and not willing to count our chickens too early – we’re justified in feeling a bit of hope.
