ForkForce Australia is very pleased to announce that it has just settled on the acquisition of Eastern Forklifts in Bayswater, Melbourne.

Charles Ohlson, established Eastern Forklifts in 1992 and has been successfully managing his Melbourne forklift sales, hire and service operation for over 20 years.

Charles and his team are a great addition to the ForkForce family and bring a wealth of forklift experience. We are also delighted to announce that they will be continuing on with ForkForce as we look to grow expand into the Melbourne market.

ForkForce will continue to support Eastern Forklifts’ 300 hire customers with Charles Ohlson as our Melbourne Operations Manager.

Our current and new ForkForce customers will benefit from a greatly expanded range of products that includes both new and used forklifts from 1 to 32 tonne, walkie stackers, reach trucks, pallet trucks and the newly launched rough terrain forklift range.

Prospective Melbourne forklift sales customers will be excited to hear that this acquisition also allows ForkForce to import direct from our manufacturer into Melbourne and stock our range of Enforcer forklifts at our new Bayswater location.

Existing ForkForce Melbourne forklift hire and service customers will also enjoy a greater level of local support as we look to continue on from 2013’s remarkable growth.
