The Teletruks have been supplied by Clarklift South Africa, the JCB Industrial dealer in South Africa and are being used for general material handling duties during the final construction and fit-out stages for hospitality suites and visitor facilities

Two of the machines are working at Soccer City, Johannesburg - the main 94,000- capacity World Cup stadium that will stage the opening games as well as the Final.

There are also two machines working at the Durban Stadium and at Cape Town’s Green Point Stadium, while there is one machine on each site at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, Free State Stadium at Bloemfontein and Peter Mokaba Stadium at Polokwane.

Mike Poxon, international sales manager - JCB Industrial, said: “The tasks required a forklift truck that was flexible and capable of working on rough ground and the JCB Teletruk fitted the bill perfectly.

“The Teletruk provides a superior lift capacity and forward reach that extends over debris and stock piles of building materials, as well as a compact size and 4WD capability to handle rugged site conditions and limited working spaces.”
