We are also an official authorized dealer for all brands. For buying, renting, maintenance, repairs and spare parts for all carry-on forklifts you are at the right place at Quickstra. Since 2000 Quickstra is the best and most well-known service organization in the Netherlands in the field of Kooiapen. These customers react very positively when I tell them that we will soon be loading and unloading electrically.'įor more information: Stefan Scholten, Van der Wal, / 06 52 52 54 44 They often choose us because we can already make significant improvements by organizing their transport in a smarter way, for example by using LHVs. Henk also mentions another important group of customers: 'We drive for customers with clearly sustainable products and missions. This limitation makes it worthwhile for deliveries to be as CO2-neutral as possible. Increasingly, they must or want to meet a certain maximum CO2 emission, and transport is also included in this. We see this, for example, among customers in the construction sector. More and more customers are weighing (CO2) emissions in their tenders. Since it was technically possible, I absolutely wanted to invest in this and not in older, outdated technology with which hardly any sustainability gains could be made.' So why did Van der Wal wait three years? Henk explains: 'It is important that we invest in making our equipment more sustainable where possible. So don't wait for what's to come, for what technology or legislation is going to save us but take action now. Van der Wal says in its sustainability program, called Kill Empty Running, it's all about making the most of the opportunities that exist now. We succeeded, and we are proud that we have the scoop with Van der Wal, and can move forward into the future together.' I have given importer Hiab and the Moffett factory in Ireland extra encouragement to develop a 3-wheel drive machine for our customers.

When asked why Van der Wal was given the first order, Lennard Kikstra, owner of Quickstra, replies: 'Henk has been saying for about three years that he doesn't want to replace his forklift's until I can deliver electrical ones. Handy to avoid unnecessary kilometers', says owner Henk van der Wal.

'With these chargers we can keep our equipment on the road for a longer time, even in places where we would otherwise not be able to recharge in between trips. Custom-designed in collaboration with Quickstra and Hiab, this charger makes it possible to charge the forklift's battery while on the move. This gives a lot of extra flexibility for deliveries with noise restrictions, such as often applies at very early and late hours in urban areas.Īnother handy innovation is the charger built by Van der Wal itself. This version is therefore ideally suited to projects in the construction industry and for laying out solar parks.įurthermore, the electric power supply ensures that the machine is very quiet. This allows it to drive over unpaved terrain with ease. This Moffett brand carry-on forklift is so special because it is the first electric forklift with three-wheel drive. Eight innovative Moffett forklift trucks from importer Hiab will be delivered by supplier Quickstra in May. Utrecht - Van der Wal has become the first company in the Netherlands to order truck mounted electric forklift trucks.
