This year’s EMA welcomed first-time exhibitors CASLAD

During the five day expo, thousands of innovative products are on display, with a rekindled opportunity for face-to-face interaction and live demonstrations. This year’s EMA welcomed firsttime exhibitors CASLAD — a leading industrial warehousing equipment supplier and manufacturer to the floor, and chatted to CEO Clayton Foster about his experience throughout the event. “We noticed the vast majority of our visitors were existing customers which was a great indication we had come to the right place. Having the opportunity to chat, it soon became clear that many of our customers don’t realize the extent of the products we import and manufacture. The show was a great platform to showcase the full range — from ladders, castors, wheels, trolleys, materials handling equipment, conveyors, scaffolding, shelving and more — making it possible to secure further business from existing clients.” Having already reserved the same stand for next 2024, Clayton went on to acknowledge the networking possibilities that came with the expo. “EMA gave our sales team the opportunity to connect with key decision-makers and to reconnect with existing clients in person. With industrial products, there is no greater impact than a face-toface demo. This is something not possible via telephone or our online sales mechanisms. All in all it was a great success and we’re excited to come back in 2024.” One popular debut at this year’s expo was the new 2t Lithium Pallet Truck from STAXX.

Anyone using a manual lifter for weights over 1.5 tons will know that tasks become ergonomically unjustified beyond a certain point, resulting in an uncomfortable and less productive team on your factory floor. Bridging the gap between manual and full size electric jacks, these lithium battery operated trucks are superior in efficiency, bring enhanced mobility, and offer a 5 year warranty on the chassis — making it particularly advantageous when it comes to the total cost of ownership. Do you manage a factory or warehouse, or make use of materials handling equipment? CASLAD welcomes walk-ins at their 4000sqm manufacturing and warehousing facility in Johannesburg, as well as its additional warehouses in Durban and Cape Town.
