Wajax has announced that it is now the exclusive Canadian distributor of Bulmor sideloader forklifts – this is the first time that Bulmor has had a distributor in Canada.
Bulmor is a company known for manufacturing premium, heavy-duty, special-purpose lifting trucks.
The sideloaders are designed and manufactured by Bulmor according to stringent quality control standards, allowing them to withstand the additional stress and torque caused by long and heavy loads.
The machine’s sideloading capabilities allow for more products to be stored in one space and offer good maneuverability in narrow aisles and doorways.
With a top speed of 21 km/h, Bulmor’s sideloaders can move a large amount of product over long distances quickly, making them useful for increasing productivity.
“Bulmor sideloaders complement our existing line of forklift trucks, for which Wajax has been the leading dealer in Canada for over 50 years – selling, renting, and servicing them in over 100 locations coast to coast,” Brian Kolthof, VP of material handling at Wajax, said in a release.
“Now, if a customer happens to inquire about a long load, narrow aisle type of application, we can provide them with a solution. Wajax is a one-stop-shop for all of our customers’ material handling requirements.”
Among the machines that will be available are the popular and durable DQrc 60 and DQr 80 diesel sideloaders.
The DQrc 60 comes with a 55.5 kW motor, has a loading capacity of 6 tonnes whereas the DQr 80 can haul up to 8 tonnes.
As part of Bulmor’s focus on the environment, the internal combustion sideloaders meet some of the highest environmental standards in Canada.
The company also offers several electric options capable of hauling 2 tonnes to 11.8 tonnes, which work silently without emissions.
“Our customers can purchase quality equipment from Bulmor, available in a full range of conventional and multidirectional formats, with the confidence that Wajax, with its proven customer proximity, application consulting abilities, and service focus, is supporting the product,” Guenter Szolga, president and CEO of Bulmor USA, added.
“Wajax is a strong nationwide expert for material handling and intralogistics. Hence, a perfect fit for a European supplier wanting to make a strong entrance into the Canadian market.”
Wajax is one of Canada’s longest-standing and most diversified industrial products and services providers.
It operates an integrated distribution system providing sales, parts, and services to a broad range of customers in sectors including construction, forestry, mining, industrial and commercial, oil sands, transportation, metal processing and oil and gas.
