With reference to your Fleet Focus feature on piggyback forklifts (CM 2026 August), the statement made in the second paragraph might relate to the 15 years that Moffett Engineering has been in existence, but not the time that truck mounted forklifts have been available. The Kooi-aap forklift has been available for more than 30 years and has been imported into Britain for over 20 years.
In addition, the fact list is incorrect with regards to prices, lift capacities and unladen weights; while rideon units may often cost £15,000 upwards. the Kooi
aap range of ride.on units starts at £12,700, while its pedestrian models start at around 0,500; maximum capacity on the largest models is 4 tonnes; and unladen weight starts at 700kg for pedestrian models and 1,100kg for ride-on units.
