A “Compact” multi-directional fork lift and 10-18 tonne capacity HSL trucks were two of the eye-catchers for Lancer Sideloaders in the outside exhibition area.

The company, part of the Austrian Terra group, presented itself as a one-stop shop for long load/materials handling needs.

Lancer managing director Russell George said the sector had been difficult in 2009 but customers were in the market and looking at product.
