Work on a large expansion has commenced on Feyter Forklift Services’ site in Vlissingen. The location is home to Feyter’s Heavy Equipment Division, which has been experiencing such growth in the maintenance, sale, and rental of heavy machinery that their current workshop space started to hold the enterprise back.

The expansion allows the company to adequately satisfy growing demand and uphold their service pace. The main component of the expansion is the construction of a large additional workshop space of nearly 800m 2 . Construction of the warehouse expansion is expected to be completed by mid-June 2020. The new-to-be-built addition will almost double the size of the current workshop and spare parts warehouse to approximately 1,800m 2 in total.

Feyter Forklift Services has two facilities that are both located in North Sea Port; one in Terneuzen and one in Vlissingen. The Vlissingen facility handles all of the company’s heavy equipment-related activities. Repairs, maintenance, sale, and rental of reach stackers, forklift trucks heavier than 10t, and

terminal tractors are all coordinated from there. The strategic location in the Vlissingen-Oost port area allows the company to transport heavy machines both over land and water. The spacious new workshop area will be dedicated to the heavy equipment that Feyter’s Vlissingen-Oost site specialises in, so maintenance activities can be carried out on more machines at any one time.
