Since 1998, Toyota Material Handling (TMHA) Forklifts have always been LaManna Premier Group’s (LPG) machinery of choice. With a history of over 100 years in business, LPG requires reliable and quality products to aid in their day-to-day operations.

LPG is one of Australia’s largest fresh produce supply chain companies, providing both domestic and overseas customers a single source of supply across a diverse range of fruit and vegetable categories. The Group’s farm production capacity and grower network spans over all Australian states and includes open field growing as well as protected cropping. LPG business operations are enhanced by climate-controlled distribution services, packing and advanced ripening facilities, and a Central Market Trading presence in every Australian State. LPG’s Trading Division has the largest national wholesale distribution footprint in the country, with the Melbourne Market in Epping, Victoria, being LPG’s flagship site. To ensure quality, flavourful, healthy fresh produce every day, LPG chooses TMHA Forklifts to complete and achieve key operations. LPG Trading Operations Manager, Mr David Ericson, says LPG uses Toyota Forklifts to ensure LPG employees’ safety at the Melbourne Market. “Toyota provides a safe, reliable, and quality product (forklifts) that assists LPG in reducing forklift incidents. Toyota provides sites with an option for a standardised capped speed on forklifts and includes other safety mechanisms such as built-in pre-operations check with its forklifts. They’re also supportive of our proactive approach to building LPG’s safety culture, evident through the sponsorship of our Safe Work Month, participating in the inaugural Forklift Safety Champion Award.” With TMHA on-site at the Melbourne Market, servicing and maintenance is an easy task to complete regularly or as required. “The process is easy, quick, and efficient. During periods where Toyota is busy, they keep us updated and do their

best to service us as soon as possible,” said Mr Ericson. Toyota Material Handling has been supporting the Melbourne Wholesale Market on-site for over 15 years. TMHA VIC Area Sales Manager, Brad White, said “at Toyota Material Handling, we place an important emphasis on expert service to keep your forklift working and your servicing costs as low as possible. It's all about maximum uptime and part of the Toyota Service Advantage.” To book in your service with TMHA, wholesalers can either contact TMHA directly or come past the centre to book in their service. On the booking day, wholesalers can drop off their forklift at the end of their shift (between 6am – 8am) and while they are not on site in the Market, Toyota service and return their forklift to their store or warehouse where it will be ready for work the following day. “Toyota established its Service Centre on-site in the Melbourne Markets to provide optimally convenient and effective solutions for the Wholesalers. The process to have your forklift serviced in the market has been streamlined to its easiest form and one that has been working successfully for a number of years.”
