About

The Australian Forklift and Industrial Truck Association (AFITA) represents the interests of the major suppliers of lift trucks and associated equipment in Australia.

Membership of the AFITA is divided into two categories – Full Members and Associate Members.

Full members are the substantial prime wholesale suppliers, manufacturers and importers, or their accredited representative, of self-powered industrial trucks actively and continuously conducting business in Australia.

Associate members are major suppliers of ancillary equipment for, or major hirers of forklift trucks supplied by members.

A list of members with links to their websites is here.

AFITA is governed by a National Council and supported by an Engineering Committee.

The major focus of AFITA is to ensure the highest possible standards of performance, safety and client satisfaction. To this end, AFITA members operate within the AFITA Code of Conduct. A full copy of the Code can be found here.
