About MHS

A Smarter Approach
to Materials Handling

MHS was established with a simple goal – provide NZ businesses with high quality, good value materials handling equipment. Simple.

For many years the forklift market has been dominated by a number of large global brands. While these brands have strong reputations, they are often associated with high capital costs, inflexible equipment choices and legacy product design.

Today we supply modern forklift solutions that help warehouses and logistics businesses operate more efficiently, more flexibly and more cost-effectively.

Exclusive Distributor of

Noblelift Forklifts

MHS is the exclusive New Zealand distributor for Noblelift Forklifts, a modern forklift brand built around performance, reliability and value.

Noblelift forklifts are engineered to deliver:

For many businesses, Noblelift forklifts provide a high-performance alternative to traditional premium brands, delivering the reliability required in demanding warehouse and industrial environments while providing significantly stronger commercial value.

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:

If another forklift or equipment solution is better suited to the application, our team can source it through our industry network. Because ultimately, the right forklift is the one that works best for your operation.

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.
