New warehouse in Langley

New warehouse in Langley, British Columbia, Canada
We have decided to open our next forklift warehouse in Langley, BC on May 1, 2012. With this addition we will have a full shop repair centre complete with electric and internal combustion shops and field repairs with several field service vehicles.
We will be offering industrial battery repairs. Within the very near future we will be offering reconditioned and new battery sales along with brand new forklift battery chargers.

Our current showroom has been very successful servicing the areas of Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and Mission. Our new location in Langley will help us serve and maintain our rental and sales customers on the South side of the Fraser River. This will help with the traffic interruptions that have been occurring to such areas as Chiliwack, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Langley, Port Kells, Surrey, Delta and Richmond. Northstar will have over 150 forklifts in our inventory by our move-in date of May 1st.

Future plans for Northstar Forklift include the opening of a similar facility in the South Vancouver or Richmond area - stay tuned! We are becoming Western Canada's fastest growing sales, rental and leasing company.

Growing demand means a new warehouse location

New warehouse on south side of Fraser River
Due to growing demand for used forklifts, as well as leasing, sales and service on the South side of the Fraser River, Northstar Forklift is in the process of acquiring another warehouse location in Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey or Richmond.

Indications for 2011 are that Northstar Forklift has become the largest selling forklift sales company in the Lower Mainland for used forklifts. With our outstanding forklift re-conditioning program, current model forklifts and same day lease-to-own approval, we have made it very easy to purchase or lease. Call us any time at Northstar Forklift. We're open 7 days a week for viewing.

DYNAPULSE (TM) Battery Recovery Systems

Battery re-conditioning for forklifts
Northstar Forklift is now offering battery re-conditioning for forklifts.

In recent years some end users have opted out of maintaining their own forklift batteries. Keeping batteries free of sulfation, is almost impossible. Time constraints and energy demands are constantly increasing in order to keep up with streamlined productivity. Time and labor costs are too high to keep lift trucks off the line while their battery chargers attempt to equalize each cell. Fortunately, this very issue forced open the door for the release of the military proven technology that allows batteries to last longer and work better without all the extra time, effort and associated costs.

Northstar Forklift is now offering Dynapulse™ to recover and maintain batteries. The Dynapulse™ allows batteries to recover faster and work better. It works fast and costs very little in comparison to the price of replacing a forklift with a new battery.

The Dynapulse™ V2 battery recovery conditioner is also making its way to the center of the stage by reviving 12 and 24 volt battery applications that conventional recovery methods are not able to accomplish. The latest Dynapulse™ V2 model is the coveted Dynapulse™ V2 for 36/48 volt battery applications. This new arrival is turning heads and winning expedited approvals from 100 million dollar companies.

The US military is also a very large benefactor of the technology through the military model, called the AC25C conditioner. Power Products Inc., designed and developed this model specifically for them and they in turn have saved millions of dollars that would have been spent on labor and new battery replacement costs. The impact to the environment and their cost savings were so significantly reduced, that the AC25C conditioner was approved and inserted into the NAVAIR Bad Manual. It is currently the only unit of its kind listed there and is recommended for recovering sulfated batteries throughout the US fleet.

March 2010 - Goodbye Olympics, Spring on the way

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 08:00:00 GMT

What a month it has been! Visitors from all over the world, amazing athletes! Canadians are waving the flag like never before, and we are wearing red and white like never before. People filled the streets chest thumping and bursting into spontaneous choruses of "O Canada". As we heard during the Opening Ceremonies, we are Canadians who say please and thank you. We are a nation joined by a kind of multiculturalism that sets us apart from the world.

At Northstar Forklift, we are aiming to take this patriotic momentum and make this spring the best yet for your business. If you need to rent or lease forklifts or other material handling equipment, contact us right away! You will be glad you did.

And congratulations to our local athletes (especially those from Coquitlam, Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland) and everyone that made the Olympics possible!
