Tank-Weld Equipment will be hosting its largest showcase to date on April 29 and 30 at the new Tank-Weld Metals Distribution Centre at Six Miles in Kingston.

“We have been doing a series of successful shows across the island and we felt it was time to bring it back to Kingston in a bigger and better way,” a company release quotes Tank-Weld Equipment Managing Director John Ralston.

Since hosting its last show in Kingston in 2019 Tank-Weld Equipment, the exclusive distributor for Shacman in Jamaica and the Caribbean, has added a number of brands to its portfolio, including Rymax Lubricants and TWE Racking systems.

“We started with Shacman as our flagship brand under the Tank-Weld Equipment umbrella in 2018 and have since seen other needs arise in the industry, and therefore have expanded to include a full line of warehouse equipment, earth-moving equipment, and most recently oils and lubricants from the Rymax brand out of Holland,” Ralston said.

All brands will be on display at the exhibition for interested parties to see and gather more information.

The Tank-Weld sales team will be in attendance and the the company has again partnered with National Commercial Bank whose representatives will be on hand to give potential customer information on loans and interest rates to people interested in acquiring equipment.

The company also said that there will be a special element to the event in the form of a forklift safety and dexterity exhibition — an obstacle course testing agility, safety, and procedure of forklift drivers from some of Jamaica’s top distribution companies that have purchased the Hangcha line of forklifts distributed by Tank-Weld.

“These types of exhibitions are like a sport in the United States and are designed to not only test the operator but also the unit itself,” said Ralston.

The event is free to the public and all COVID-19 protocols will be observed.
