Toyota Material Handling (TMH) has relocated its Queensland branch following an expansion.
The company will relocate to Larapinta, south of Brisbane, after 23 years at Darra, south west of Brisbane.
According to TMH’s northern region general manager, Dan Williams, the new 6000 square metre workshop is state of the art and three times the size of the current premises.
“It will have twice as many work bays, as well as larger loading/unloading areas and a customer waiting lounge,” he said.
“We expect the new workshop to increase efficiencies through better organisation and by providing higher service levels to our forklift and Huski skid-steer loader customers.”
The new workshop has a customer lounge, spray booth, wash-bay using recycled water and overhead gantry, as well as storage space for new stock and short-term rental forklifts. It will also include 6000 square metres of hard-stand area space for loading and unloading, as well as a new unit showroom and technician training facility.
The new facility will have 30 repair service bays and 30 pre-delivery bays, according to Williams.
