North West Ginning began operating in 1991
and has used Toyota forklifts for close to a
decade. The company recently took delivery
of two new Toyota 8FD25 engine-powered
counterbalance forklifts fitted out with ‘cotton
spec’ accessories for use at its ginning plant
near Moree.
Company manager Wayne Clissold said the
solid construction and reliability and durability
of its Toyota forklifts was critical to the
company’s success.
“After the cotton is harvested the ginning
process removes the dirt and debris and
separates the cotton seeds and lint, with the
latter packed into large cotton bales that we
stack and later load onto trucks.
“Our Toyota forklifts can be in service almost
around the clock during the harvest season,
which can cover between three and six
months of the year,” Mr Clissold said.
Mechanic Richard Shelton said the service
and back-up North West Ginning receives
from Toyota is exceptional.
“I give the technician a call when a service
is nearly due and he comes over promptly
to get the work done. We also discuss any
issues or upcoming work that is required,” Mr
Shelton said.
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA)
area sales manager Allan Peacock said North
West Ginning’s Toyota forklifts are fitted
out with application-specific accessories to
optimise their efficiency and safety.
“The forklifts often carry four large cotton
bales at a time, so dual drive wheels are fitted
which is a great feature for us as the wider
footprint offers better stability and balance,
especially when carrying multiple cotton
bales, and better traction on the asphalt,” Mr
Shelton said.
The forklifts have also been fitted out with
operator side protection gates for added
safety and cotton bale clamps.
“These units were supplied with a Cascade
quick-release side shift, so they can
quickly and easily be converted back to a
conventional forklift set up to handle pallets
when required.”
North West Ginning’s Toyota forklifts also
have a front windscreen and wiper, a cotton-
industry spec radiator screen and joystick
controls.
“The joystick control is another good feature
as it provides better ergonomics and ease of
use for the operators, who are often working
long shifts.
“The windscreens are a welcome feature too
as it can get very cold up here during harvest
time,” Mr Shelton said.
