Only Toyotas Forklifts will do
ONLY TOYOTA FORKLIFTS WILL DO FOR NATIONWIDE TRAINING
PERTH-BASED NATIONWIDE TRAINING HAS USED THE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY OF TOYOTA MATERIAL HANDLING AUSTRALIA (TMHA) EQUIPMENT TO HELP GROW ITS BUSINESS, PROVIDING TRAINING COURSES AND ACCREDITATION FOR BUSINESSES WITH FORKLIFT, ORDER-PICKER AND DANGEROUS GOODS HANDLING AND STORAGE OPERATIONS.
For over 10 years, Nationwide Training has depended on the superb reliability of Toyota forklifts to deliver its courses, with the company using three Toyota forklifts to train workers. For Nationwide CEO Gavin Trim, Toyota have stood out from the competition for as long as he has been using them. “We’ll go to sites, and they obviously have their own brands of machines as well, but even with all the different machines I’ve used, Toyota has been hands down the best machine,” Mr Trim said.
“I’ve trained with other brands and think, ‘why does
this machine work like this when the Toyota is so easy?’” Nationwide was formed by Trim’s parents. The company starting out renting Toyota forklifts, however when the opportunity arose to purchase his own equipment, he jumped at the chance and is now the proud owner of two 8-series gas forklifts and a Toyota order picker. “When I started managing the business, Mum and Dad already had a Toyota, which we rented. The leasing company were moving away from their Toyota contract, so I investigated TMHA and started leasing from them,” Mr Trim said. “Now we’ve purchased the machines, and I’m a big believer in the product; I tell everyone how good they are. They’re very reliable machines and the technology you get is really good.” As a former Toyota automotive technician, Mr Trim is well versed in the mechanical excellence of the brand’s products. The durability of the machines is a clear selling point, but the TMHA benefits do not stop there. “There’s lots about the machine I like — the reliability is fantastic.” he said. “The machine also has the System of Active Stability (SAS), which other manufacturers don’t have. My new machine has a steering wheel indicator and mast leveling feature — the layout, design and ergonomics of the machine are great.
For Nationwide, another reason to stick with TMHA has been the excellent service and aftersales support. Mr Trim said Nationwide prides itself on delivering high-quality training to corporate groups, which would not be possible without the machines running efficiently. The service provided by Sales Manager Tony McGuire and his team ensured that the operations run smoothly. “Tony’s always there to help, he provides any support I need. Whether we need a new machine or finance, they’ve always been helpful providing all the service required.” Mr McGuire said he was acutely aware of how important it is for any business to have their forklifts in prime working order. “If the forklift doesn’t start you lose a class, and with six to eight classes a day, you can’t put them off to the next day because you’re double-booking yourself.” A reputation for offering consistently excellent training programs has seen Nationwide develop a strong reputation in Perth, with contracts from Australia Post, Bunnings, Government and Defence departments and transport companies around Perth. With TMHA by its side, Nationwide can provide top-tier training and accreditation for businesses long into the future. Mr Trim said the machines he invested in have been worth every penny. “Not everyone wants to pay the money for a Toyota, but if they realised how good they were, they’d soon buy one as a priority,” he said.
