Goscor Lift Truck Company (GLTC) has been very active in the KZN region and has recently supplied two well-known local companies with a range of its products.

Digistics, the logistics company responsible for all KFC’s and Macdonald’s distribution in the KZN area has taken delivery of a Crown ESR Reach Truck, a Daewoo LP Gas G18 Forklift and three Crown WPS Powered Pallet Trucks.

Samson Bohata, Digistics director, says that the reliability of both the product and the service is crucial in his business as the pressure to deliver on time is enormous.

“Downtime is hugely expensive for us and the lifting equipment is a critical item in our business. Since we’ve been using Crown and Daewoo products our downtime has been insignificant and, on the rare occasion when I have needed technical assistance, the Goscor team has been outstanding,” says Bohata.

Digistics, formerly ASP Distributors, has been around since Macdonalds came to the country in 1985 and changed its name after a recent management buy-out. Bohata is the director and shareholder of the KZN branch.

In another deal, Goscor has supplied Denny Mushrooms of Shongweni, with a Daewoo D25 Diesel 2.5 ton Forklift Truck. In this case Daewoo has replaced a very well known brand that has operated in the firm for several years.

“When the time came to replace our existing fleet we looked at all our options

and the Daewoo from Goscor seemed the best option considering the price, the quality of the machine and the service. In addition, in Denny’s harsh environment, the oil-cooled disc brake feature is of great benefit in terms of downtime reduction.“ says Denny’s Hector Goodwin.“ So far our decision has been vindicated by both the performance of the machine and of the Goscor team,” he says.

Micheal Keats, Goscor Durban Branch Manager, says that he is delighted that two important companies like Digistics and Denny Mushrooms are now in the stable.

“These are two companies where lifting equipment is a critical item and I regard it as a feather in our cap that they have chosen our company as their service providers. “

Since its inception in 1984, Goscor has not only provided best practice industrial solutions, it has also created authentic partnerships with its customers, suppliers and principals. This, coupled with its market-leading Crown and Daewoo products, has helped the company show exceptional growth every year and become one of the leading suppliers in the materials handling industry.
