Cooper SH to focus on ports business

Warwickshire-based Cooper SH has announced it is to focus its future efforts on heavy trucks and users of specialist ports and freight terminal equipment.

The firm has been the sole UK supplier of Konecranes trucks for several years and in 2010 signed an agreement with the Scandinavian firm to represent its port equipment business throughout the UK and Ireland.

Cooper SH's managing director, David Cooper explained: “We already enjoy a dominant market share for reach stackers thanks to our relationship with Konecranes. It makes sense for us to invest all our efforts in markets where we are recognised as brand leader and we can deliver a real value-added service.”

As a result of the company's focus on core business, Cooper SH will no longer distribute Baumann sideloader products but will provide service and support.
