Australian-owned lighting manufacturer, Lowa Lighting, has used the class-leading reliability and sustainability of Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) forklifts to help grow its thriving business.

Starting out with a single forklift, Lowa Lighting now boasts a fleet of eight machines, including five Toyota 8FG gas forklifts, two Toyota 8FBE18 electric forklifts and a Toyota RRE140 electric reach forklift.

Since its beginning, Lowa Lighting has relied on TMHA forklifts to ensure consistent and reliable warehouse operation, with the zero operating emissions of Toyota’s electric forklifts a major factor for Lowa Lighting.

Lowa Lighting sales director Anthony Galimi says the company would be looking to expand its premises in the future and will be getting in touch with TMHA national sales manager Michael Tsougranis to source more electric forklifts for its new facility.

“We’re looking to add more machines as we move premises, and we want to grow with Toyota, we want zero operating emission electric forklifts so I’ll sit down with Mick and look at ways we can improve our efficiency and increase our sustainability footprint,” he says.

“With our forklifts going all-electric, they’re a good partner to have.”

It is no coincidence that Lowa Lighting has exclusively used TMHA forklifts since its inception, with the service of Mick’s team and the legendary reliability of Toyota forklifts both major reasons for the company’s extended patronage.

“I think what I like best about Toyota is the service, and the quality and reliability of the machinery,” he says.

“They don’t break down when you use them, and the service team and people behind the brand are really good.

“Mick does a really good job, nothing’s a problem – you ring him up, if they need to come out, they do it straight away. If you need an extra machine, it is there the next day. The service is the most important thing.”

The manoeuvrability and easy use of Toyota forklifts were also a big factor for Anthony, with the perfect forklift available for just about any use.
