Timbertruss framed for success
Earthmoving Equipment Magazine
|December 2025 - January 2026
An Australian supplier of prefabricated architectural timber frames has used the reliability, safety and servicing network of Toyota Material Handling Australia to help build its business into the powerhouse it is today.
-
Since its inception in 1989, Timbertruss has grown into Australia's largest supplier of timber trusses, wall frames, posi-struts, cassettes and flooring systems.
With manufacturing facilities in the Geelong suburb of Corio and Brendale in Brisbane's north, the company relies on the quality, reliability and safety of Toyota forklifts for its operations.
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) has been Timbertruss' preferred supplier of material handling equipment for more than a decade, and recently delivered a new fleet of 20 counterbalance forklifts across the two sites. The mix of units, ranging from 2.5 to 4.0 tonnes in capacity, are used to transport timber and finished structures around the warehouses.
Timbertruss CEO Mark McDonald said the company's preference for Toyota forklifts would only increase going forward.
