Forklifts for heavy work in Çiğli.
Machinery, metal and casting work means heavy loads. We size the machine with you, and suggest the pallet that suits your part.
Say Çiğli and people think of the Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone. It is one of the largest industrial zones in İzmir, full of machinery, metal, medical, textile and chemical producers. We supply pallets there, rent out forklifts and buy the pallets that accumulate.
Why forklift needs are different in the AOSB
The type of load is different in Çiğli. Machine parts, castings, sheet metal and moulds are common, and they are heavy without being bulky. With loads like these, capacity is what matters most when picking a machine.
The table below is a rough guide. The final choice depends on the load centre and the lift height, so we settle it by talking through the job.
| Load | Usually suitable capacity |
|---|---|
| Palletised boxes, packaging, light goods | 1.5 to 2 tonnes |
| Full pallets, general warehouse loads | 2.5 to 3 tonnes |
| Sheet metal, moulds, castings | 3.5 to 5 tonnes |
| Machine bodies, heavy equipment | 5 tonnes and above |
Treat the table as guidance only. The higher you lift, the less a forklift can carry, so high stacking may mean stepping up a capacity class.
What is different on the pallet side
For machinery and metal businesses a standard pallet does not always do the job. When the dimensions fit, EPAL or industrial pallets are fine. When they do not, a custom size is needed. Pallets going under heavy parts also need thicker boards and stronger blocks.
So for enquiries from Çiğli we ask what you will be carrying first. If you do not know the pallet size, the dimensions and rough weight of the part are enough and we will work it out together.
Buying the pallets that accumulate
Businesses in the AOSB receive raw material and semi finished goods on pallets continuously. As those pallets empty they stack up on site and eventually eat into floor space. We buy them.
Three things matter to us: how many, what size, what condition. Give us those and we can put a rough figure on it before setting off. The final price is settled when we see them.
Where in Çiğli we go
The Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone first, then the rest of Çiğli: Balatçık, Ataşehir, Egekent, Küçük Çiğli, Büyük Çiğli, Harmandalı and the Sasalı corridor. We also take jobs on the neighbouring Karşıyaka and Menemen sides.
Frequently asked questions
Do you rent forklifts to the AOSB?
Yes, to the Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone and the surrounding area, with or without an operator. If you are lifting heavy parts we need to discuss capacity up front, because lift height reduces what a machine can carry.
I do not know what capacity I need, what should I do?
Just tell us the rough weight and dimensions of the part and how high it has to go. We will work out the right capacity. Guessing at tonnage slows the job down and creates a safety risk, so we do not do it.
Can I order custom size pallets?
Send us the dimensions and what you will be carrying. For pallets going under heavy parts we account for thicker boards and stronger blocks than a standard pallet would have.
Will you buy the pallets stacked up at our site in Çiğli?
Yes. Send us the quantity, size and condition and we can give you a rough figure over the phone, then confirm it in person.
