About Us

Our history

Established over 40 years ago, Robur, as the business was previously known, was created to meet the growing demand for bespoke materials handling solutions.

Customer requirements were becoming increasingly specialist, which has meant that since then we have grown to become one of the largest suppliers of bespoke materials handling equipment to UK dealers, their end-users as well as directly to the end customer.

Our technical and engineering capabilities have allowed us to grow our dealer network to what it is today.
