Taylor International - STAND A16

1) Please tell us a little about your company and what you will be showcasing at TOC Africa 2023

Taylor started in 1927 and is one of the only privately held manufacturers of material handling equipment operating in the USA today. Our product line consists of over 100 models of diesel and electric forklifts, reach stackers, and container handling equipment for port operations, intermodal, and steel industries, to name a few. We don’t only manufacture, but we design and engineer in addition to providing high quality after-market support worldwide.

2) Who are you hoping to meet?

Professionals from port terminals, logistics and shipping industries.

3) Why is the African market so important to you?

As Taylor continues to expand our footprint globally, we recognize that Africa is a very important market because of its large population, growing economy, diverse natural resources, and vast industries; therefore, we must have a presence on the continent.

4) What are your plans, goals and ambitions for the rest of 2023 and beyond?

We at Taylor plan to continue expanding our distribution and product line globally. As a result of the ever-changing manufacturing environment and the influence of electric vehicle technology, we have felt an immense responsibility to design and manufacture zero-emission material handling equipment that would integrate seamlessly into the existing customer workflow. We are presently producing a 16-ton forklift and a 2nd generation loaded container handler and will have several more models coming up soon.  

5) Why do you consider it important to be at TOC Africa?

TOC Africa doesn’t only offer a great venue to promote your products and services in the region, but also a solid networking platform and the opportunity to be informed on the latest developments related to terminal operations in Africa.

6) What message do you have for the TOC community who will be in Tangier?

The Taylor team would like to learn more about the opportunities and needs of African ports, shipping and logistic operations as well as offer our material handling equipment with a proven record of most durability and reliability in the world, so come visit us at stand # A16.
