Since the Toyota OWEKY account has used the same Hiab forklifts for over the past 7 years. These units have helped the Toyota account delivery over 115,000 frames to Toyota Dealerships across the U.S. Over that course of time the moffetts have taken an extreme amount of wear and tear and have aged quite a bit. The account is very appreciative of the performance they got out of the moffetts, however it was time for an upgrade.

Starting in May the account received their first group of NEW 2016 Palfinger Truck Mounted Forklifts. These new units have several new safety features that are beneficial to the drivers while operating them. The units also provide more cab space for the driver for comfort. One of the major changes is the seat position. The previous Hiab unit's seat was positioned on the left side of the moffett. The new Palfinger units have a centered seat position which allows the drivers to have more visibility while operating the forklift.

Several Palfinger representatives accompanied the delivery of the first group of new units. The Palfinger reps helped with facilitating training with account management and drivers. Over the next 3 months the account will phase out the Hiab units and bring in the new Palfinger units, being fully operational with all 50 units by July 2016. The account hopes to delivery at least another 115,000 frames with the new Palfinger units!
