New name
May 1st 2008

SMV UK, specialist distributor of heavy forklifts, container handlers and reach stackers, together with sideloader supplier, Irion Sideloaders, have been brought together under a single trading name – Cooper Specialised Handling. The new company also incorporates the trading business of SMV Rentals.

Cooper SH offers solutions for fork lift machines above 10t and sideloaders from 3 to 45t capacity.

The company has also announced an expansion into smaller forklifts with the addition of the DanTruck range of lift trucks from 6 to 9t.

David Cooper, MD, (pictured) says "The new trading name will help us to be more easily recognised as a specialised provider across our niche markets. It will also more easily accommodate our plans to expand into other related areas."
