On the 11th October 2019, iLift Forklifts and the Orizen Group of companies hosted the historical launch of the EP Equipment Brand in South Africa.

The Launch was held at the prestigious Destiny International Convention Centre in Kempton Park, JHB.

A truly glamorous setting which saw the attendance of over 180 guests. We had guests from all major cities of South Africa, namely Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Nelspruit, Bloemfontein & Pretoria. The event showcased a complete range of Warehousing Equipment from EP and iLift launched its Industry First Android customer service App called iServe.

On display inside the venue, the guests were able to experience/see/touch/feel the full range of Counter-Balance Forklifts, Reach Trucks, Stackers, Order Pickers and Electric Powered Pallet Jacks.

SUCCESSFUL EP EQUIPMENT PRODUCT LAUNCH IN SOUTH AFRICA

The innovative range of Lithium Ion Smart Trucks stole the show with guests crowding around the Blue coloured 2 Ton Counter-Balance unit on display inside the venue. iServe App also became the talk of the town projecting iLift as a forward-thinking company.

The “LIST” Range was a major conversation point throughout the evening, attracting attention from Warehousing and Logistics Professionals alike.

Also, on display were a number of the EP I/C units, these units drew quite a bit of interest with many of the guests impressed by the robust look of the Fork Trucks and the Engine options on offer. Customers could see Orizen Group’s well-established products, namely Aqua-less batteries from TAB, Slovenia, Micropower Sweden’s high-frequency chargers and Lion Brix batteries and Battery Watering Systems from BWT, USA

The event kicked off at 13:00 in the afternoon and went on until 22:00 that evening. There was also a Lucky Prize Draw that took place which proved to be quite popular with the crowd.

The Range of Equipment on show faced stiff competition from the amazing catering, with plenty of eats & drinks on offer including a stunning Indian Barbeque.

Overall the evening proved to be an incredible showcase and a very successful launch event.

The EP Brand has been well received within the South African MHE Industry with a number of units already sold since iLift SA Pty Ltd was chosen as the sole distributor for EP Range in SA.
