ABOUT US
Local, responsive, and backed by decades in material handling. We're a team of material handling people — not a sales floor.
Between us, we’ve spent decades around forklifts, warehouses, and the operators who run them, and that’s shaped how MHS works. We answer our own phones. We back the equipment we supply. And we’d rather recommend the right machine than the biggest one. As the exclusive New Zealand distributor for NobleLift and an authorised agent for IBEX, we bring premium equipment to New Zealand warehouses and stand behind it long after it arrives on site.
From a single machine to a full fleet, we're here to keep our customers moving.

Commercial Focus
Racking and forklifts,
planned together
MHS works closely with Pallet Racking Solutions (PRS), one of New Zealand’s leading suppliers of warehouse racking systems. That relationship lets us take a more integrated approach to warehouse planning than most forklift suppliers can.
Racking layout, aisle width and forklift design all pull on each other. Understanding how means we can help businesses build warehouses that hold more, run more safely and work more efficiently — rather than solving one of those and paying for it somewhere else.
In many cases the biggest gains don’t come from a different forklift at all. They come from rethinking how the forklifts and the warehouse are set up to work together.

IBEX Articulated Forklifts
Transforming Warehouse Capacity
MHS is also an authorised supplier of IBEX articulated forklifts, one of the most effective solutions available for increasing warehouse storage capacity.
Unlike traditional forklift designs, articulated forklifts allow operators to work safely in very narrow aisles, enabling warehouses to dramatically increase pallet capacity within the same building.
For many businesses, adopting articulated forklift technology can increase storage capacity by 30–50% without expanding warehouse space.
This type of innovation reflects the philosophy behind MHS: smarter equipment that solves real operational challenges.
Solutions First, Equipment Second
While MHS specialises in Noblelift forklifts and IBEX articulated forklifts, our approach is not tied to any single brand. Instead, we work with customers to understand how their operation functions before recommending equipment.
This includes reviewing:
- Warehouse layout and aisle widths
- Load types and lifting requirements
- Indoor and outdoor operating environments
- Duty cycles and utilisation levels
- Future growth plans
Integrated Warehouse Expertise
MHS works closely with Pallet Racking Solutions (PRS), one of New Zealand’s leading suppliers of warehouse racking systems. This relationship allows us to take a more integrated approach to warehouse planning.
By understanding the interaction between racking layouts, aisle widths and forklift design, we help businesses create warehouse environments that deliver higher storage capacity, improved safety and better operational efficiency.
In many cases, the biggest productivity gains come not from buying a different forklift — but from rethinking how forklifts and warehouse design work together.
