SmoothToyota forklifts for
cold-climate fruit growers
A leading grower of apples and cherries relies on a fleet of Toyota battery-electric
forklifts at its orchards and packing sites.
Bonny Glen Fruits, based near Mount
Canobolas in Orange, NSW, is a family-based
business that sells fruit nationally and exports
to China.
It has six Toyota 1.8-tonne payload forklifts,
including three at its packing facility on
Canobolas Road.
Managing director Bernard Hall said he bought
the company’s first Toyota forklift in 2001, one
year after the business was founded, and has
continued buying Toyota forklifts ever since.
“We bought our first Toyota forklift from the
(then) local agent and haven’t bought any
other make since,” he said.
“We still have the original forklift and
commissioned our latest Toyota just six weeks
ago. These days, we have a Toyota Material
Handling Australia (TMHA) branch in Orange,
with a really customer-focused manager in
Richard Bopping who ensures we receive
good service.”
Bernard Hall regularly operates his Toyota
forklifts and said the qualities he most
appreciates in them are reliability and smooth
operation.
“They’re smooth, comfortable, reliable and
user friendly, as well as being powerful and
manoeuvrable and having important safety
features,” he said.
“The biggest thing is smoothness. They’re
quite precise to operate and there’s no jolting
or noise when you go over bumps.”
TMHA Orange branch manager Richard
Bopping said Bonny Glen Fruits had been
a valued Toyota customer for more than a
decade.
“This family business is thriving in tough
economic conditions through good
management and marketing, taking advantage
of the large Chinese marketplace for their
fresh produce,” he said.
“Toyota’s strength in the Australian forklift
market place means we can offer factory
branch support in key regions like the central
west of New South Wales.
“That level of service and local-branch support
is a key reason customers give for choosing
and remaining with Toyota.”
TMHA offers a comprehensive range of three
and four-wheel Toyota battery electric forklifts,
all with the proven performance, reliability and
operability of alternating current (AC) power
technology.
Ergonomic features include a four-way
adjustable suspension seat and rack and
pinion hydrostatic power steering, while
operator safety is enhanced by features like
the Toyota System of Active Stability.
Bernard and his brother Tim learned the ropes
of fruit growing while working at their father’s
orchard on the outskirts of Orange before
Bernard founded his own business in 2000.
The company’s four orchards in the Orange
region, all at an altitude of around 1000
metres, grow seven varieties of cherries and
eight varieties of apples. The produce is sold
into chain stores, wholesale markets, at the
farm gate and is also exported.
