Who is UniCarriers?

UniCarriers (formerly Nissan Forklift) might appear to be a new brand name emerging in the forklift market however; the product actually dates back to the very first forklift manufactured in Japan during the 1940’s. UniCarriers is comprised of the two heavy weight Japanese forklift manufacturers – Nissan Forklift and TCM. The company united to strengthen Japan’s forklift brand utilising the experiences and strengths of both manufacturers.

UniCarriers is available through Lencrow Materials Handling who offer sales, services and support for the entire range of products. UniCarriers offer a comprehensive range of internal combustion forklifts with capacities starting from 1000kg right up to 43,000kg models (1t – 43t). Premium models feature electronic engine management system technology. The electronic technology monitors and manages the forklift’s fuel economy as well its speed controls, automated tilt levelling and includes a built-in weight scale. UniCarriers are at the cutting edge of design and technology consistently delivering quality products applying years of experience and research in forklift manufacturing.

Nissan Forklift acquired Atlet, a warehouse equipment manufacturing company based in Sweden, in 2007. Atlet is known for their range of electric powered warehouse products with ergonomic solutions. The business merger marked the production of superior reach trucks and specialised warehousing equipment that features leading design and technology using superior components. UniCarriers in addition to this range manufacture 3 and 4 wheel forklifts covering the needs of modern warehouses and handling applications.

UniCarriers is synonymous with Nissan Forklift and TCM – two forklift brands that the Australian market has known and used for years. Unicarriers products include full parts and labour warranties backed with factory support on all its products.
