Genavco choose Narrow Aisle
 Genavco - the United Arab Emirate’s (UAE) largest independent materials handling group, headquartered in Dubai - has reached an agreement with Narrow Aisle Flexi for Narrow Aisle to be its exclusive supplier of articulated forklift trucks.
With four sales centres and more than 50 mobile service engineers throughout the UAE, Genavco is a main agent for some of the world’s best known forklift, warehouse and logistics equipment brands.
In recent years, sales of articulated forklift trucks have grown significantly in the UAE: their ability to load like a counterbalance machine combined with the ability to work comfortably both inside and outside and within very narrow aisles have made them a popular choice among specifiers looking to increase storage capacity, abolish double handling and the costs associated with running a bigger truck fleet than is necessary.
“The high cost of each cubic metre of space in Dubai and the UAE make the Flexi a very attractive product for many customers. I think this agreement is a strong reflection on the build quality of our products,” comments John Maguire, Sales and Marketing director of Narrow Aisle Flexi.
