Company Announcement - In a deal that Goscor Lift Truck Company’s MD, Darryl Shafto, says will significantly help his company to provide an even better service to its customers, GLTC has won the right to distribute BHS Global products in Southern Africa. BHS is a world-renowned supplier of battery handling systems and accessories and is the largest manufacturer of battery handling equipment in the world.
“Our aim has always been to be a one-stop service solution to our customers and having BHS in the stable completes the circle in our achieving this goal,” says Shafto. “We can now easily say that we provide a total warehousing solution – a complete range of warehouse material handling equipment, battery chargers, various financial packages in rental or sale, a range of service and maintenance packages, fleet management systems, operator training and, of course, a massive stockholding of spare parts,” says Shafto.
BHS provides the highest quality products and the best engineered solutions for improving productivity and profitability. Safety, efficiency, and space-savings in lift truck battery changing areas are also top priorities for BHS. By expanding the portfolio to include BHS products, GLTC now provides a wide range of products to suit large and small lift truck battery changing applications. Every system is designed, engineered, and manufactured according to their customer’s specifications. For larger fleet applications, the BHS Operator Aboard Battery Extractors are available in several models and are designed for a specific application, yet all sharing common features and benefits which make them the most versatile, reliable and cost-effective battery extractors in the industry.
All BHS BEs are made with heavy duty steel and designed to reduce preventative maintenance intervals. For smaller fleet applications, BHS also offers a comprehensive range of lift truck battery changing carts and carriages. Also designed and built to the customer’s specifications, each cart and carriage provides power and durability to the battery changing process that is second to none. With so many combinations of products to choose from, each and every system installed is unique to that facility’s needs.
Apart from the battery changing equipment, BHS also offers a wide range of battery environment support equipment including: Electrical Distribution Systems, Battery Fleet Management Systems, Battery Room Ventilation Systems and a whole lot more.
Shafto says that there is no doubt that BHS fits into the mould of all the other top GLTC brands. “BHS uses the most advanced manufacturing processes including state-of-the-art laser technology, CNC engineering and robotic welders to deliver the quality that we admire,” he says. “Also their technology is unbeatable and will save our customers time, which means a more efficient operation for them all round.”
