The partnership that's kept Mainfreight moving since 1978.
When Mainfreight started out in 1978, they chose AFH Forklifts as their forklift partner. The deal was done on a handshake. Nearly five decades on, that commitment hasn’t changed.
As Mainfreight grew into one of New Zealand’s largest transport networks, AFH grew with them. New depots, new requirements, new challenges. AFH responded with options, not obstacles.
Three years ago, Mainfreight needed a significant fleet transition. Cost-effective machinery across a nationwide network, reliable through long hours and varied freight types, and increasingly electric. AFH delivered. Over 75% of the fleet has since been replaced with new fast and opportunity charge units.
“The original deal in 1978 was done on a handshake and that commitment remains strong today.” Grant Smith, National Support Manager, Mainfreight Transport
