SINCE its inception as a modest, local car service centre in the 1970s by Leigh and Pauline Mackin, L & P Mackin Forklifts has gone from strength to strength to become industry leaders in the heavy machinery sector.

Their son Jarrod Mackin is now the head of one of the region’s most established forklift service, repair, spare parts and sales companies.

Being situated in the Goulburn Valley ‘food bowl’ and the epicentre of manufacturing, the need for a reliable and expert provider of forklifts is imperative to the operation of many local businesses.

They are the local dealers for Clark forklifts and have been so over 20 years. They stock a wide range of reliable used and new forklifts for sale and carry out repairs to all makes and models of forklifts including LPG, Diesel and Electric either on site or in their fully equipped workshop.

With an extensive fleet of hire forklifts for short term hire or fleet management, L & P Mackin can meet all customer hire requirements, big or small. They have machinery to support various projects, with machines ranging from 1.8 tonne through to 8 tonne.

To help keep our agricultural industry operating they offer a 24-hour, 7-day a week breakdown service to keep our many factories and orchards supplying Australia with our world-class produce.

“The last 12 months have been extremely busy,” reflects Jarrod.

“Our region has continued to show resilience and strong business acumen. We would like to thank our customers and the community for their ongoing support,” said Jarrod.
