Riyadh-based distributor of construction, agricultural and industrial equipment Al Jomaih Equipment Company has recently launched on the Saudi market new innovative forklifts from TCM of Japan, which boasts incomparable ruggedness and operator-friendly features.

Inoma – an acronym for ‘innovative machine’ – comprises a family of four-wheel counterbalance internal combustion forklifts, which comprises three models: a two-tonne machine, a 2.5-tonne offering, and a three-tonne machine and carries on the TCM tradition of superior performance and quality.
“TCM has fully upgraded and redesigned the Inoma forklift for easier access, greater comfort, improved manoeuvrability along with safety and durability,” says Abdullah Sulaiman Al Ali, general manager of Al Jomaih Equipment Company. “The forklift achieves optimum performance for its class while providing outstanding comfort.”
“The forklift adopts dual-floating systems for both the engine and hood, which minimises the transfer of vibration to the operator. The four-point rubber cushion absorbers are located between the seat, engine and transmission,” a spokesman for TCM explains. “Moreover, use of the same four-point suspension adopted on the hood reduces vehicle vibrations.”
The new forklifts feature an improved soft landing mechanism, smaller semi-circular steering wheel, easy-to-read meter panel and greatly improved forward-rear visibility, which contribute to operator comfort, safety and productivity, says Al Ali.
“Stability in travelling and loading is provided by an increased front/rear stability ratio, while a cooler engine-operating temperature is achieved by repositioning the fan, radiator and muffler, thus enhancing radiator cooling efficiency. A redesigned hydraulic system minimises pressure loss, realising a reduction in hydraulic system temperatures, leading to durability of hydraulic system components,” adds Al Ali.
AlJomaih Equipment Company is the authorised representative in Saudi Arabia for the entire range of the TCM brand. The company is also the distributor for a vast product line-up from various international companies, including Iveco, Merlo, Nardi and Case New Holland of Italy, Claas and MTU of Germany, TCM of Japan, Nokka-Tume of Finland, Perkins of the UK, Arcusin of Spain, and US-based Valmont Industries, which manufactures the internationally well-known Valley irrigation systems.
