Multimodal 2018 will welcome Doosan, the leading manufacturer of robust high performance forklift trucks, which will be exhibiting alongside Rushlift GSE at hall 4, stand 7050. The UK’s premier freight transport, logistics and supply chain exhibition will take place between the 1st and 3rd of May 2018 at the NEC, Birmingham.

Doosan will have on display its latest D160 diesel 16 tonne counterbalance, designed to deliver high end torque at low RPM for reduced fuel consumption. Its revolutionary G2 diesel engine is fully compliant with all current Euro Stage emission regulations and it does not require a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

“The freight transport sector is a primary focus for both Doosan and Rushlift GSE. We have a strong, robust range of heavy lifting trucks capable of meeting the diverse needs of the logistics market – from container stuffing to loading/unloading of vehicles. Our industry leading Doosan G2 diesel engine delivers the power to get the job done and our electric heavy-lifting counterbalance trucks are just as able,” said Paul Watson, UK Commercial Director for Doosan.

Doosan’s extensive range totals over 200 models of counterbalance reach and warehouse trucks, with capacities spanning 1.3 to 25 tonne, over power sourced of electric, gas and diesel.

Commenting about Doosan’s wholly owned subsidiary and airport ground handling specialist, Rushlift GSE, Paul said: “Airside, Rushlift GSE is a leader in the field with its specialist knowledge of ground handling equipment and services – having just recently secured one of the aviation industry’s largest contracts to supply 449 ground support vehicles to a major carrier based at Gatwick.”

Doosan Industrial Vehicles is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of forklift trucks. As an important part of the $21 billion global Doosan Group, a conglomerate with a 120-year history, the forklift truck division has the extensive resources needed to lead in product design, performance, ergonomics, energy and safety.
