MLA Complete Forklift Solutions has grown to become one of Australia’s leading material handling equipment companies, supplying and maintaining a comprehensive range of forklifts and heavy material handling equipment for purchase and short- or long-term rental nationwide.
Established in 1980 through its partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, MLA has built a strong reputation for quality equipment, engineering expertise and exceptional customer support. Today, the company distributes Mitsubishi and Nichiyu electric forklifts, MLA Vulcan Equipment and, most recently, HELI Heavy Capacity Forklifts and Reach Stackers.
With nine branches across Australia, supported by an extensive regional authorised dealer network, MLA is uniquely positioned to provide national sales, service and parts support. More than 200 employees, including experienced technicians, apprentices, sales and service teams and support staff, underpin the company’s commitment to keeping customers operating.
MLA’s offering extends from 1-tonne pallet movers through to 45-tonne Reach Stackers, providing solutions across warehousing, logistics, ports, manufacturing, mining and heavy industrial applications.
Exclusively distributed by MLA in Australia, HELI heavy forklifts (16-70 tonnes), Reach Stackers and Empty Container Handlers deliver proven strength, reliability and performance for demanding container handling and heavy industrial operations. With MLA’s nationwide parts and service network supporting every HELI forklift and container handler, customers enjoy fast response, expert care and long-term dependability.
Operator safety, comfort and productivity are also central to the HELI range, with features including reversing cameras and sensors, air-suspension seating and electrically tilting cabins, alongside heavy-duty carriage and fork designs.
The introduction of HELI further strengthens MLA’s position as a total material handling solutions provider, building on its experience delivering application-specific equipment to major Australian organisations across mining, manufacturing, logistics and infrastructure.
As the material handling industry continues to evolve, MLA is also supporting customers seeking to reduce emissions without compromising performance. HELI’s Lithium-Ion Reach Stackers represent the next step in this transition, delivering the power and capability required for demanding container-handling applications while offering zero tailpipe emissions, reduced maintenance requirements and the potential for lower operating costs.
With national coverage, a comprehensive equipment portfolio, experienced people and a proven commitment to aftersales support, MLA is focused on delivering reliable, cost-effective material handling solutions throughout Australia.
