    Antwerp, Belgium

    Hyster empty container handlerFounded in 1870, Zuidnatie has expanded significantly over 142 years, now providing a full range of services including stevedoring, logistics, transport, warehousing, customs department and container department, across various industry sectors.

    Following the successful introduction of two new Tier 4i/Stage IIIB compliant Hyster empty container handlers at the Port of Antwerp, Zuidnatie made further investments in seven new low emission, high capacity Hyster forklift trucks.

    The company required high capacity forklift trucks to support the port operation where steel and non-ferrous metals are received, stored, repacked and distributed through the road or rail networks and empty container handlers.
