New and usedToyota
forklifts help QLD charity
A Queensland not-for-profit charity providing food relief for families in need is
benefiting from new and refurbished material handling equipment supplied by
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA).
Located at Loganholme and Hillcrest
hear Brisbane, Lighthouse Care recently
purchased a fully refurbished 7FBE20 model
to replace an old forklift from another brand
and soon after purchased a new Toyota
6FBRE16 reach truck to use at its busy
warehouse. Their existing 6FBRE16 reach
truck has been retained as a back-up for busy
periods.
Lighthouse Care co-founder Ron Hill says
when the time came to upgrade their existing
forklifts they were happy to continue their
association with Toyota.
“We had our old Toyota reach truck set
up at our warehouse in our large drive-in
freezer. We were really happy with it so we
approached the local TMH branch about
purchasing another,” Mr Hill said.
“Both the new and refurbished forklifts are
great to drive and operate and we’re really
pleased with the service and support we’ve
received from TMHA.
“It was quite a lengthy process as we had to
wait for approval on a government grant to
finance the new forklift, and TMHA were very
patient and helpful throughout.”
TMHA area sales manager Daniel Ford said
it was very satisfying to be able to assist
Lighthouse Care in providing its much-
needed service to the local community.
“Their existing equipment was ready for
replacement and it was very satisfying to
work with Ron and the rest of the volunteers
and staff at Lighthouse Care to provide
a cost-effective solution to their material
handling needs.
“It also serves as a great example of the
quality and reliability of our refurbished
forklifts, which provide an economical
alternative to purchasing new equipment for
those who place lighter demands on their
equipment than large warehouses.
“Our refurbished forklifts are carefully chosen
from our ex-rental fleet and each one goes
through a very thorough check. All worn parts
are replaced and they are stripped, washed
and cleaned. Any damaged panels are
replaced or repaired and are repainted,” Mr
Ford said.
Lighthouse Care was established in 2004
and originally distributed free bread to
disadvantaged communities. It has since
developed into a large volunteer-led
organisation that provides 40,000 food
parcels and assists over 60,000 families in
need each year.
