MLA Complete Forklift Solutions has grown to be one of Australia’s most important material handling equipment companies, supplying and maintaining a comprehensive range of gas, diesel, petrol and battery electric forklifts for short or long-term rental or purchase nationwide.
MLA was established in 1980 with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to sell and distribute Mitsubishi Forklift trucks in Australia. The company has grown to now also distribute Nichiyu Electric Forklifts, MLA Vulcan Equipment and, most recently, HELI Heavy Capacity Forklifts.
With eight branches across the country in Newcastle, Sydney, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and now Wollongong, as well as an extensive regional authorised dealer network, they are uniquely positioned to service customers right across Australia.
Since its inception, MLA has forged a reputation for excellence in customer service, safety, operational reliability, engineering and equipment maintenance. Proof of this can be seen by the number of major companies who have been with MLA for many years.
The company employs over 200 people across the country from apprentices to technicians, office staff and sales and service teams.
At MLA, you don’t just buy or hire a forklift. The company prides itself on delivering on its promise to provide exceptional aftersales service and support once the equipment is supplied, which includes preventative service maintenance and repairs.
The MLA team has the expertise to service and maintain every make and model of forklift available in the Australian marketplace. It has a fleet of mobile service technicians ready when a customer most needs it because they understand how crucial it is for customers to minimise downtime.
With a history of distributing robust, quality and dependable forklifts that are built to last, today MLA’s comprehensive range includes 1t pallet movers to 45t capacity reach stackers and everything in between.
In addition to offering Mitsubishi, Nichiyu and MLA Vulcan products, earlier this year MLA became the Australian distributor of HELI Reach Stackers and HELI Heavy Forklifts (16-46 tonne).
HELI Reach Stackers are state-of-the-art machines designed and manufactured for the intensity of round-the-clock container handling applications. The HELI 16-46 tonne range of heavy-duty industrial forklift trucks also provides performance, reliability and dependability in the most arduous of applications.
Both the HELI Reach Stackers and HELI Heavy Forklifts include quality features and components associated with all leading brands in this class of equipment, such as trusted drive train components, Cummins QSB 6.7 engines, ZF automatic transmissions, Kessler drive axles and Parker and Permco hydraulics.
Advanced features for operator comfort and safety include electric tilting cabin, reversing camera and sensors, air suspension seating, combining a durable carriage and fork design with a luxurious cabin environment.
Introducing the HELI range helps cement MLA’s reputation as a total material handling solutions provider and building on its reputation for producing mining, warehousing, logistics and port specific units for companies such as Glencore, Thiess and Tomago Aluminium to name a few.
MLA has the people, total product solutions, national service capability and proven commitment to deliver quality, cost-effective material handling solutions and support for its customers.
