The Pacific branch of Hyva, a Netherlands-headquartered manufacturer of hydraulic loading and unloading systems for trucks and trailers, has acquired all assets of Truck Cranes Australia (TCA), located south of Brisbane, Queensland.

Hyva says the deal gives it a platform for expansion in the Queensland market, as TCA is positioned in proximity to Port Brisbane and strategic business partners.

Established in 1991, TCA, has been a F.lli Ferrari Cranes Dealer since 2008 and added Hyva Container Handling equipment to its offering in 2012. It is also Queensland dealer for Tadano stiff boom cranes, Loadmac truck-mounted forklifts, and is a specialist in the installation of ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) for mining vehicles. According to Hyva, TCA has a fully equipped workshop and a strong reputation for all brands of used cranes and ten-year major inspections of cranes.

Hyva added that the workshop and customer base provide an excellent platform for the continued growth of Hyva Pacific by building on existing lines and adding new Hyva product lines including tipping solutions, waste handling, skiploaders, and truck and trailer accessories.

“This is a great deal for Hyva Pacific”, explained Andre Bremmer, managing director Hyva Pacific. “TCA is a well-established and successful business which gives us access to the third largest and fastest growing regional market in Australia.

“We thank Don Peden [managing director and founder of Truck cranes Australia] for his trust in us, in taking charge of a successful business which he nurtured over many years and his continued support in the transition and further development of the business.”
