Yale Europe Materials Handling has launched Yaleused.com, which will help end-customers across EMEA find affordable, reliable, and high performing used and refurbished Yale products in an approved sales channel.

The new website provides approved Yale dealers with an exclusive platform to advertise used and refurbished materials handling equipment. Customers are able to search for immediately available equipment for sale or to rent, to meet their current application requirements and business circumstances.

“We’re thrilled with the opportunities Yaleused.com will offer to our dealers to promote available used Yale equipment,” said David McIntyre, Re-Marketing Manager. “Not every application requires a new forklift. Businesses may find themselves in a situation where they need to source a forklift immediately or are required to reduce expenditure. They may even need a back-up forklift to keep their operations moving smoothly. The new website will enable them to source used equipment, from a local Yale dealer at a budget to suit their individual needs.”

Peace of mind
Demand for quality used equipment continues to grow, and with it a need for a professional approach. Second-life products offer companies an affordable option to meet their immediate requirements.

“Yaleused.com gives customers instant visibility of the variety of used products available from an authorised Yale dealer and provides easy communication with the seller. Customers can find second-life machinery manufactured by a leading, global forklift manufacturer, offering the peace of mind that an official Yale dealer can offer,” said David McIntyre.

David added, “As well as offering fully serviced, well-maintained and high quality machines with instant availability, customers benefit from the local presence of an authorised Yale dealer who can provide full parts and service support, warranties and finance options.”

Alongside the new customer-facing website is a separate Inventory Management System and a Dealer-to-Dealer advertising platform, aimed to help Yale dealers to control their stock and communicate effectively with the extensive Yale dealer network across EMEA and globally.

“With interest in used and refurbished equipment continuing to grow, we’re pleased existing and new customers will be able to source quality Yale products with great ease and be confident that they will continue to be reliable and productive for many years to come,” concluded David.

Freight-forwarding business Denholm Global Logistics has bought African Logistics Marketing, enhancing its air freight capability and reinforcing its well-established African presence.

African Logistics Marketing, based at Dolphin Industrial Estate, Sunbury, Middlesex, is a specialist air freight business, focusing, as the trading name indicates, on the UK-African trade. The founder of the business, Richard Geary, has vast experience in the African market, having worked for blue-chip companies trading in Africa, such as Ocean Group, Elder Dempster, and SDV, before setting up his own business. Richard joins Denholm Global Logistics as Air Freight Director and brings with him a team of four: Graeme Hearne (Branch Manager); Andrew Parsons (Operations Manager); David Borg; and Sean McGuigan, who each have extensive experience in the air freight and African trade.

The acquisition significantly strengthens the air freight capability of Denholm Global Logistics and complements its existing worldwide service offering. It also builds on the business’ already strong African presence, gained by the purchase of African sea freight specialist, Bennett & McMahon, in 2017.

As of the 1st June 2020, African Logistics Marketing has been trading as a branch of Denholm Global Logistics, which is headed by Managing Director Mike McMahon. Commenting on the acquisition, Mr. McMahon said: “I am delighted that African Logistics Marketing has joined Denholm Global Logistics. Richard Geary and his colleagues have a wealth of experience, both in air freight and in African trade. Their expertise complements our African and global credentials and enhances the flexible and innovative freight forwarding solutions Denholm Global Logistics provides to our clients.”

Denholm Global Logistics is a company of Denholm Logistics Group, one of the four divisions of diversified family-owned business The Denholm Group. Based in Liverpool and led by family member Niall Denholm, Denholm Logistics Group provides all aspects of logistics, and operates businesses not only in forwarding, but also warehousing, distribution, stevedoring, port agency and vessel chartering. The business has experienced significant growth over the last ten years, through its strategy of acquisition and organic expansion in the UK and Ireland.
