Goscor Lift Trucks (GLT), a leader in materials handling solutions, proudly celebrates its decade-long partnership with Crusader Logistics, a trailblazer in supply chain solutions. This collaboration exemplifies a shared commitment to innovation, reliability, and customer satisfaction, underscoring GLT’s position as a trusted partner in the logistics sector.

Crusader Logistics first partnered with GLT nearly ten years ago, drawn by GLT’s competitive pricing and specialised expertise in narrow-aisle material handling equipment (MHE), such as Bendi forklifts. Over the years, this relationship has evolved into a strategic alliance, with Crusader naming GLT as their preferred MHE contractor.  Today, Crusader operates a fleet of 55 GLT machines across its national facilities, including counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, very narrow aisle machines, and power pallet trucks.

Stuart Roos, Managing Director of Crusader Logistics, highlights the significance of this partnership, "GLT has consistently demonstrated their understanding of our operational needs. Their ability to deliver innovative solutions, such as narrow-aisle applications, has been instrumental in optimising our warehouse space and revolutionising our racking configurations."

Roos believes GLT’s solutions are integral to Crusader’s success in demanding logistics environments. From supporting narrow-aisle operations to standard ride-ons, he asserts GLT’s equipment enhances efficiency and ensures seamless materials handling. “Their robust aftermarket support, group servicing to minimise downtime, and short-term rental (STR) capabilities address critical challenges faced by warehouse operators,” he states.

National Warehousing Executive at Crusader Logistics, Myen Naidoo, emphasises the importance of uptime in the logistics industry, stating "our business relies on fully operational equipment to meet daily KPIs and service levels. GLT’s commitment to minimising downtime and maintaining competitive pricing has helped us achieve operational excellence."

Crusader Logistics has referred GLT to several partner warehouses, underscoring their trust in GLT’s products and services. Roos affirms this trust, by stating “we’re confident that we have chosen an ideal business partner who truly understands our needs. GLT’s consistent service and innovative approach make them an invaluable ally in our operations."

Reflecting on the partnership, GLT’s Patrick Barber, Director of Business Development, believes, "Crusader Logistics’ trust in GLT over the past decade is a testament to our shared values and dedication to excellence. We’re proud to provide solutions that empower their operations and look forward to many more years of collaboration."

The success of the partnership between Crusader Logistics and GLT highlights the power of trust and collaboration in business. Over the past decade, GLT has consistently demonstrated its commitment to understanding the unique needs of Crusader Logistics, ensuring that their operations run smoothly and efficiently. As both companies continue to grow, GLT will remain a trusted partner, providing the ongoing support and innovative solutions necessary for Crusader’s continued success.  This enduring partnership reflects the shared values of reliability, excellence, and dedication to meeting customer needs.
