Maximal Forklifts for Haiti in 48 Hours   

After the earthquake, demand for forklifts to help distribute food, medicine and clothes became critical. Castle Forklifts Ltd of Rugby, Maximals dealer in UK, has modified five new Maximal forklifts in 48 hours for relief work in Haiti.

Castle Forklifts chairman Keith Edkins said that preparing the five Maximal forklifts for local conditions in Haiti is normally a 10-day job, but the company worked around the clock over two days to fulfil the UK government order.

Castle Forklifts was established in 1975 and has imported forklifts from the Far East since 1982.  Initially, the forklifts came from Japan but for

the past two years, Castle has imported exclusively from Maximal Forklift in China.

In mid-2008, Castle Forklifts sold a new Maximal diesel forklift to the UK governments relief agency for use in loading freight containers with emergency aid headed for disaster areas globally. "They have been delighted with the forklift ... so when they needed five new forklifts for Haiti, they contacted Castle to check the immediate availability of further Maximals," Edkins says.

The petrol forklifts were converted to run on LPG. Then the converted vehicles and other diesel forklifts were fitted with low-profile triplex full free-lift masts, sideshifts, puncture-proof tyres, heavy-duty air filters and extra-long forks.

Maximal is extremely proud of her products to serve in this special struggle.
