Bobcat forklifts take centre stage on Rushlift stand

Rushlift said the display covered solutions for businesses of different sizes

Rushlift showcased a range of Bobcat handling equipment at the Great Yorkshire Show, highlighting machinery designed to help agricultural businesses improve efficiency and reliability.

The national full-service provider of materials handling equipment exhibited at the Great Yorkshire Show at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.

Visitors to the Rushlift stand were able to view a range of Bobcat forklift trucks and warehouse equipment aimed at modern agricultural operations.

Rushlift said the display covered solutions for businesses of different sizes, from compact machines for day-to-day handling tasks to heavier-duty forklifts for intensive outdoor use.

Models on show included a pedestrian pallet truck and a three-wheel electric forklift from the Bobcat BNT-Series.

The BNT-Series offers lifting capacities from 1.6 to 2.0 tonnes and is fitted with fast-charging lithium-ion battery technology.

Rushlift also displayed the Bobcat B25NS, a 2.5-tonne electric counterbalance truck designed to combine reliable performance with low operating costs.

For businesses needing more robust outdoor handling equipment, the company showcased the Bobcat D35C-9.

The four-wheel diesel-powered pneumatic-tyre forklift is designed for demanding working environments.

Rushlift said the D35C-9 had been engineered for extended service intervals, helping to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

Visitors were also able to view and purchase a fully reconditioned second-life Doosan forklift truck.

Rushlift said the machine reflected its focus on sustainability and value for customers.

Chris Rodger, National Sales Manager at Rushlift, said the Great Yorkshire Show provided an important platform to speak to agricultural businesses about handling requirements.

“The Great Yorkshire Show attracts some of the most innovative businesses in UK agriculture, making it the ideal platform for us to demonstrate how the right materials handling solutions can significantly improve efficiency, productivity and ultimately, profitability,” he said.

He said the company’s team had been available to discuss options for businesses looking to replace a single truck or review wider fleet requirements.

“Whether a customer is looking to replace a single truck or optimise an entire fleet, our team will be on hand to discuss the options available and identify the most effective solution for their business,” he said.

Alongside new and refurbished equipment, Rushlift promoted its fleet management and maintenance support service, TruckCare.

The nationwide service includes equipment selection and specification, preventative maintenance programmes, breakdown response and fleet performance reviews.

Rushlift said its specialists work with customers to analyse truck use and operational requirements.

The company said this can help businesses reduce costs, improve reliability and maximise the long-term value of their materials handling equipment.
