What Is Goscor Lift Trucks?

Updated

Goscor Lift Trucks is a South African supplier of forklifts and warehousing equipment, operating as part of the Goscor Group and describing itself as a provider of industrial warehousing equipment solutions since 1984. It sells electric and diesel-powered forklifts and materials handling equipment, and backs that with aftermarket service, rentals and pre-owned units. If you are sourcing lift trucks or warehouse equipment in South Africa and want a single supplier covering new equipment, parts, service and short-term rental, this is the profile to evaluate.

Company background

  • Part of the Goscor Group.
  • States it has provided industrial warehousing equipment solutions since 1984.
  • Positions itself as a forklift leader and warehousing specialist.
  • Holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certification, with certificates available on its site.

What it sells

The core product range covers electric and diesel-powered forklifts plus materials handling equipment, described as competitively priced and quality guaranteed.

It also lists a current new arrival: a 2.5t Bobcat NX Forklift at a limited landed price of R299,990*. Treat that as a promotional figure tied to a specific model and stock, not a general price list.

Brands it distributes

Goscor Lift Trucks states it is the proud sole distributor for:

  • Bendi
  • Crown
  • Bobcat
  • DEC
  • Sunlight Batteries and Energy Storage Solutions

Sole distribution matters if you need a single in-country source for these brands, since parts and warranty support should route through the same channel.

Services beyond equipment sales

Service What it covers
Aftermarket Full-service support, stated as 24/7/365, including technical service, genuine parts and breakdown support
Rentals Short-term forklift rental for project-based needs
Pre-owned Second-hand forklifts available country-wide, restored before sale
Quotes Comprehensive quotes for forklift and warehousing equipment requirements

The aftermarket and rental lines are the practical differentiators: equipment purchase is a one-off decision, while parts availability and breakdown response determine long-term cost of ownership.

A note on the MyEPP content

The site's metadata and some page text reference "MyEPP," "My EPP login," "NFC EPP," "TSA EPP" and "EPPs login." This language does not match forklift sales and appears unrelated to the equipment business. If you arrived looking for an EPP account or login portal, verify you are on the correct site before entering any credentials.

How to decide whether to engage

  • Buying new equipment: Compare the quoted price for your required capacity and power type (electric vs diesel) against other South African suppliers, and confirm lead times.
  • Needing brand-specific support: If you already run Bendi, Crown, Bobcat, DEC or Sunlight products, sole distributorship is a reason to check parts pricing and turnaround directly.
  • Short projects: Request a rental quote rather than buying, and confirm what maintenance is included.
  • Budget-constrained: Ask what pre-owned stock is available and what restoration was performed.
  • Next step: Use the site's "Get Your Quote Today" route with your load capacity, lift height, fuel type and site conditions, or download the group and GLT brochures for the full range.
