If you're looking to maximise storage space without the cost or size of a traditional forklift, the HELI CQD15H-J21 Electric Pallet Stacker is worth a closer look.

Designed for narrow aisles and compact warehouse environments, it combines impressive reach capability with a compact footprint.

One standout feature is its walk-along travel function. At the push of a button, operators can safely walk beside the machine while it travels in a straight line, giving them a clear view of pallet entry and placement for greater accuracy and confidence.

Compact, efficient and easy to operate, it's a practical solution for businesses looking to get more from their warehouse space.

Talk to the team to find out if it's the right fit for your operation.

When you're working in narrow aisles and high racking, the right reach truck can make a big difference.

Visibility, stability, lift height, battery technology, and operator comfort all play a part in helping you move goods safely and efficiently throughout the day.

At Central Group, we offer a range of reach truck solutions, including premium models from STILL and the latest HELI reach trucks, with options to suit a variety of warehouse applications and budgets. We also have extensive experience supplying lithium battery and charger packages, helping customers make the most of their equipment investment.

If you're reviewing your current fleet or considering a new reach truck, talk to us about seeing the latest range in action.

What a start to Fieldays.

With bluebird skies overhead and a huge range of equipment on display, it's been great to catch up with customers and talk through the challenges and opportunities they're seeing in their businesses.

From excavators, rollers, skid steers, and compact equipment through to diesel, electric, and lithium-powered forklifts, there's plenty to see at Site D43. We're also talking finance options, fleet planning, and helping customers find the right equipment for the work they do.

If you're heading to Fieldays this week, come and take a look around. We'd love to see you there.
