Specialising in material handling equipment, MLA Complete Forklift Solutions was established back in 1980.
The company was first launched with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to sell and distribute Mitsubishi Forklift trucks in Australia. More than 40 years on, the business has grown to also distribute Nichiyu Electric Forklifts, MLA Vulcan Equipment and, more recently, HELI Heavy Capacity Forklifts.
Today, MLA Complete Forklift Solutions supplies and maintains a comprehensive range of gas, diesel, petrol and battery electric forklifts for short or long-term rental or purchase nationwide.
It operates across eight branches located all around Australia: Newcastle, Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Wollongong.
Along with its company owned branches, MLA Complete Forklift Solutions has an extensive regional authorised dealer network, making it uniquely positioned to service customers right across the country.
MLA currently employs over 200 people – ranging from apprentices to technicians, office staff and sales and service teams.
From the very beginning, MLA has forged a reputation for excellence in customer service, safety, operational reliability, engineering and equipment maintenance. And this is evident through the numerous major companies who have relied on MLA for many years.
Being an MLA customer isn’t just about buying or hiring a forklift. The company prides itself on delivering its promise to provide exceptional aftersales service and support once the equipment is supplied. This 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 market. It has a fleet of mobile service technicians, who are ready to help when a customer needs it most – because at MLA, 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 1 tonne pallet movers through to 45 tonne capacity reach stackers and everything in between.
MLA added the HELI brand into its offering earlier this year, becoming the Australian distributor of HELI Reach Stackers and HELI Heavy Forklifts, ranging from 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 offer 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.
By adding the HELI range into its portfolio, it helps to cement MLA’s reputation as a total material handling solutions provider, 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.
