Kanoo Machinery launches new Hyster and UTILEV technologies in the UAE


United Arab Emirates – Kanoo Machinery, a member of The Kanoo Group hosted a Materials Handling Event at its Abu Dhabi and Dubai premises on 14th & 16th April 2015 respectively, to demonstrate a new range of Hyster® and UTILEV® forklift trucks equipped with the latest innovations and accessories, into the UAE and GCC market.

The purpose of the Materials Handling Event was to reveal Kanoo Machinery’s range of premium, standard and utility Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) forklifts to guests, suppliers and customers in the region. This three tiered offering helps customers select the best equipment for their specific requirements in almost any type of business according to price, intensity, environment, service requirements, dimensions and many other factors.

As the authorised Hyster and UTILEV distribution partner in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar, Kanoo Machinery introduced  the Hyster Fortens for premium, feature rich forklifts and the new Hyster TX for tough, self-service and lower cost forklifts in 5 capacities ranging from 1.5-3.5 tonnes, with engine options covering diesel, LPG, petrol or dual fuel to meet a wide range of applications requiring streamlined solutions, from logistics to manufacturing, agriculture and construction. 

In addition, Kanoo Machinery also featured a lower intensity, utility range from UTILEV, a sister NACCO Materials Handling Group (NMHG) company.

NMHG is a leading global designer, engineer and manufacturer of materials handling equipment offering the most comprehensive range of these type of trucks in the industry. NMHG provides unparalleled global product support for Kanoo Machinery as the Hyster dealer in the Middle East. 

In 2011, NMHG began introducing the UTILEV range of affordable forklift trucks, which deliver reliable and cost-effective materials handling solutions for certain industries and applications, particularly where users require equipment without advanced functionality or attachments.

Mr. James Newman, Area Business Director – Middle East & Africa, NMHG, said, “Our mission is to deliver high-quality, application tailored lift trucks, offering the lowest cost of ownership, outstanding parts and service support and best overall value to customers all around the globe.”

Kanoo Machinery, which is part of the renowned Kanoo Group, was established in the mid 1960’s and has grown to become one of the leading materials handling equipment companies in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) region offering a full range of innovative products and services aimed at providing solutions that increase the efficiency and lower the cost of customer operations.

According to Mr. Deon Klerck, Divisional Manager, Kanoo Machinery, “Innovation continues to be a very important value for Kanoo Machinery. For us a big part of this involves understanding and responding to customer requirements. The material handling equipment industry in the Middle East market is quite different from elsewhere in the world and requires solutions that are specific to the region”

He further said, “For this reason we have been working very closely with NMHG for the last 12 months in an effort to develop products that cater to these specific needs and we are very excited to reveal the result of this hard work. We now offer the market three significantly different value solutions in the mainstream 3 tonne diesel forklift truck market segment.

Mr. Michael Phelan, Territory Manager, Middle East & Africa, NMHG, made the introduction of 3 Tiered ICE Forklift truck offering across the GCC. He explained, “With three levels of products, we now have a solution to suit every business in the region, allowing us to match a truck’s ability to customer requirements exactly.”
