The 16 tonne capacity forklift is supplied from Sany Europe’s £100m port equipment manufacturing facility in Bedburg, Germany, and its introduction follows the release of the Sany reach stacker a few months ago.

Cooper SH expects the machine to have wide appeal thanks to the very heavy duty build – it weighs in at more than two tonnes heavier than similar capacity forklifts – and the €39000 value of standard fit options included within the basic machine price.
