Forklift specialist B-CLOSE nv is now the exclusive distributor for Yale Lift Truck Technologies in Belgium.
The company, which is headquartered in the Antwerp area, is the largest independent forklift distributor in the country, and is the preferred supplier of several leading equipment brands for the Belgian market. It will now provide the full range of Yale solutions to its customers, including pallet trucks, reach trucks, stackers, order pickers, VNA and forklifts.
Eric Maertens, CEO for B-CLOSE says: “Yale is a well-known name in the field of warehouse equipment and forklifts and, like B-CLOSE, places great value on quality and service. We are therefore delighted that we can take Yale under our wing from November 2024 and further expand our product and service offering.”
B-CLOSE has taken on the distribution rights for the Yale brand from Hilaire Van der Haeghe (HH Group). Effective as of 1st November 2024, the company has transferred its HH Industry business unit to B-CLOSE, including its employees. This means that its existing customers will continue to liaise with their existing contacts and experience no service interruptions.
With a team of 200+ employees and 135+ service technicians B-CLOSE will provide national coverage for Yale across Belgium via its dedicated regional service centres. This includes parts, aftermarket support, attachments, truck rentals, and more.
“We are very excited to expand our long-standing partnership with B-CLOSE with the introduction of the Yale brand. With their proven track record with materials handling equipment, alongside extensive experience and a strong commitment to finding the right solution for the specific intralogistics operation, they are a great fit for Yale,” says Alex Durell, Area Business Director, for Yale Lift Truck Technologies. ““We are very pleased to welcome the B-CLOSE team to our entrepreneurial and independent network of Yale dealer partners globally.”
