We are thrilled to expand the capacity of our design department and maintain an ideal balance between engineering and Research/Development. Roy’s entry as Design Engineer will aid us in continuing to develop innovative and complex solutions matching the rate of the company’s growth and expanding product range. This is particularly important considering our ongoing partnerships, such as OilQuick® and Cebriá, and the expanding range of applications our products support.

With a solid background as a project engineer in construction and extensive experience working closely on customer-specific adaptations, Roy checks all the boxes to become a valuable asset in his new role at Hagaberg.

“At Hagaberg, I look forward to focusing on pure engineering and mechanics, as well as meticulously refining the final product. Fork positioners may seem like a rather limited product, but they actually hold immense potential for variation and development. This became clear to me during my very first visits here.” – Roy Öhlin

Hagaberg strengthens its presence in Denmark and Norway and proudly presents the recruitment of Michael Barslund. With an inspiring lifelong technical interest and a background in technical sales, he takes on the role of Area Sales Manager.

Michael Barslund has extensive experience in sales of forklift trucks, and hydraulic and mechanical components. Mechanical knowledge, technical interest, and a teaching role led to technical sales where he found his passion for understanding technical details and building strong business relationships.

“The market in Denmark and Norway has great potential for Hagaberg to expand within. I see a strong presence in the Swedish market, and I believe in establishing the same foothold here. That’s the vision.” – Michael Barslund, Regional Manager.

He believes in the company’s vision to further strengthen its presence in the Nordic countries and is ready for the growth journey. He emphasizes Hagaberg’s priority of the highest quality and functionality in its fork positioners as one of the main reasons he sees the strong potential. It gladens us that he also highlights encountering a personal atmosphere and strong internal relationships. “This is particularly valuable for me as I often work remotely from HQ. Having a close connection to the team,” he concludes.

Hagaberg was exhibiting at LogiMAT in Stuttgart, Germany – Europe’s largest trade fair for logistics and material handling. At our stand, visitors could discover an innovative solution for hydraulic fork positioners and other types of attachments, developed through our partnership with OilQuick®.

At the heart of our presentation was OQT, an advanced quick coupler system for forklift trucks, available in various models suitable for machines ranging from 1 to 9 tons. With lightning-fast hydraulic and mechanical attachment changes, including fork positioners, paper roll clamps, and rotators, OQT ensures that you are always equipped for the task, while reducing the risks of injuries associated with manual changes.

The OQT system will not only make your forklift truck but also your company more flexible, competitive, and cost effective.

Hagaberg will be part of this year’s edition of LogiMat in Stuttgart, Germany, the premier annual trade fair for intralogistics solutions and process management in Europe. During three exciting days, you’ll find us in our 30 sqm booth, ready to discuss and showcase innovative solutions that redefine the rules for material handling with fork positioners.

The trade show takes place from March 19 to 21, 2024, and is open daily from 09:00 to 17:00. You can locate us in Hall 10 – Booth 10A57. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for tickets and/or if you’d like to schedule a meeting on-site.

New solution for indoor and outdoor forklifts

We look forward to welcoming you at the fair and, in addition to showcasing our strong range of fork positioners, presenting a major innovation for indoor and outdoor forklifts. A system solution that helps reduce environmental impact, increase efficiency, and flexibility in your customers’ forklift fleets while also reducing the risk of personal injuries.
