ECH Series continues its international success

Several more ECH Series orders secured in Asia and New Zealand.

Bedford Park, Illinois -- October 29, 2009 – Hoist Liftruck has completed delivery of two ECH Series ECH-8 units into Taiwan. The 8-high empty container handlers are the first units in the Taiwanese market. Hoist Liftruck has also sold an ECH-8 unit to NZL Group, one of the fastest growing transportation and supply chain management companies in New Zealand.

The success of the first ECH Series units in the Asian market has paved the way for five more orders of ECH Series units in the region, which include 6- and 8-high units. The ECH-8 purchased by NZL Group will feature a twin-pick spreader attachment designed to lift two 20- or 40-foot containers simultaneously.

“The quality and modular design of our ECH Series has been well‐received internationally,” said Marty Flaska, president of Hoist Liftruck. “We are excited to make a successful entrance into the Asian market, as well as gain a well-respected customer in NZL Group.”

To complement the ECH Series, Hoist Liftruck is in the final R&D stages for its loaded container handlers, the LCH Series. For more information on the LCH and ECH series, visit www.hoistlift.com or contact Hoist Liftruck at 1.708.458.2200 or sales@hoistlift.com.
