Flexible finance

As the sole distributor for Cat Lift Trucks in the UK and Ireland, Impact Handling customers benefit from being able to change their materials handling requirements partway through a contract without incurring a financial penalty.

Key to this is the company’s ability to fund new equipment in-house, using the strength of South African parent company Eqstra Holdings. This allows Impact Handling’s customers to avoid the penalty fees commonly levied by banks and finance houses for the early return or exchange of machines mid-contract.

MD Terry Kendrew says: "We’re quite happy to take one set of machines out and put another one in which is fit for purpose.”
