Big Joe Forklifts (Booth C6085) is showcasing its innovative materials handling equipment at Modex. The company’s recent acquisition of EP North America (formerly ePicker) will allow both brands to share services across both organizations, expanding support functions and improving processes for customer service, fulfillment, aftermarket, warranty, parts, marketing, operations and more.

Big Joe will continue to focus on innovative niche products and in-between-handling applications while the EP North America channel will primarily focus on “purpose-built” lithium-ion forklifts. This partnership will also provide EP North America to use the Big Joe AMR vehicles, which are being demoed this week at Modex.

Leveraging Big Joe’s legacy in the market and combining it with the added focus of EP North America’s growing dealer network, the two brands will be able to extend those benefits to its dealers as well as end-users looking for Class 1 and Class 3 warehouse equipment.
