Komatsu Forklift Australia has supplied 23 new forklifts to Honda as part of a long-term rental agreement.

Product manager Gary Hodge tells Forkliftaction.com News that the company supplied 19 Komatsu and four OMG forklifts, with the last unit delivered last month.

The increasing use of battery electric forklifts by Honda is a reflection of a broader change in the Australian forklift market to move toward this type of forklift, says Hodge.
