NEW EQUIPMENT NEWS
Rebranding for BLT
Samson bulk material receiving unit.
“The company, which has traded
locally and internationally as BLT
(Big Lift Trucks) for over 20 years,
needed to rebrand, in line with
changes in the business model
and an extended product profile,”
explains BLTWORLD’s managing
director, Ken Mouritzen.
Through a carefully
implemented expansion strategy,
the company’s portfolio of
container and bulk handling
equipment now encompasses
Mobicon straddle carriers, Taylor
empty and loaded container
handlers and reach stackers, as
well as Meclift variable reach
trucks for swift and safe container
stuffing and handling.
Terminal tractors can be
customised for specific handling
tasks required. The company is
also the exclusive distributor in
Africa for the Samson range of
bulk handling equipment, which
includes material and boom
feeders for loading and high-
capacity stockpiling, link conveyors
and grab hoppers, as well as
mobile ship loaders. BLTWORLD
also distributes MDS trommel
screens and apron feeders for
mineral processing and recycling
applications.
New to the range are Five Watts
light emitting diode (LED) work
lights, which ensure safety on site,
even after dark. Liftec translifters
and cassettes are used for
horizontal heavy transportation
in ports and industry to improve
production flexibility and enhance
safety for workers, cargo, and
equipment.
In response to demand
from logistics and supply
chain managers, for improved
efficiencies in distribution,
warehousing, production
facilities, and trucking yards,
BLTWORLD’s solutions services
now encompass the rental option
of shunting tractors.
With banks around the world
now offering limited finance
options, there is a growing trend
for companies to rent equipment,
rather than make a substantial
investment in new machinery.
For this reason, BLTWORLD
supports its entire range of new
and reconditioned machines with
a rental option. A maintenance
programme, designed to suit
each customer’s requirements, is
tailored for optimum performance
and extended service life of every
machine.
