Today, our qualified sales and service network provides professional support to customers across the globe.
Our latest model, the ELX offers ‘another great leap sideways’ and has earned us our second Fork Lift Truck Association Award nomination in a row, following 2016’s Innovation win for the remarkable Archimedes outreach system.
The 2018 HX30, HX40 and HX50 diesel models include new engines, refined ergonomic cabins and new joystick controls, offering what the company believes to be the highest levels of durability, visibility and control in the market.
Whilst our new cabin design follows two years of trials and six months of rigorous testing, strengthening the framework, whilst simplify access and allowing central side struts to be removed.
With an emphasis on quality, reliability and durability, our philosophy of high service levels, world class industrial vehicles and reliable innovation neatly fits the needs of the materials handling world.

How does a Baumann sideloader work? Part Two
Sideloaders too must take into account the effects of loads, mast heights and movement on stability, and this is achieved by distributing weight.
How does a Baumann sideloader work? Part One
The art of working sideways - a combination of forks and a ‘truck bed’ allows the load to be held securely and transported over longer distances.
“The Baumanns are more robust and operator-friendly and offer much better build quality. You can see that the operators are a lot more in tune with the machine. The door interlock is a good safety feature… the masts are better, the operator cabin is excellent…”
“Baumannn’s customer focused attention to detail has ensured that we have got peace in mind and reassurance with this deal, which is essential when making such a long term capital investment.”
“We undertook a thorough evaluation of all the different manufacturers… on balance, we found that Baumann were the best choice for us, as it was clear that they put real emphasis on the quality of manufacture and product reliability.”
“Since we switched our buying policy to Baumann for the first time over four years ago, we have been extremely happy with the overall performance of their side loaders. Product reliability is excellent and the overall Baumann approach in addressing our business requirements is first class.”
“We looked very closely at potential alternative manufacturers… specifically build quality and design… we were particularly impressed by the build quality of Baumann sideloaders.”
“We felt that the Baumann sideloaders would give us the fuel saving, reliability and robust design for operation at our very busy 6 acre site… at all times, they were extremely focused and keen to fully meet our requirements.”
“The Baumann HX40 is ideal for our business. It easily manoeuvres our raw materials, especially the awkward 2 tonne packs of 7.5metre steel lengths, from which we manufacture our stillages and it keeps our manufacturing processes fully supplied.”
