Mechanic trainee

The world of internal transport equipment no longer holds any secrets for the owner of our customer Beekmans Heftrucks. By following a training course he entered the world of internal transport equipment at an early age. From apprentice mechanic to service manager, he had already spent several years in this industry before starting Beekmans Heftrucks.

After working for an employer for a number of years, he decided it was time to start his own business. Initially, the owner wanted to pursue his hobby by specializing in a motorcycle and quad business, but he quickly discovered that the private market was not for him. Through contact with old customers, he realized that his opportunities and ambitions lay within internal transport.

In December 2015, Beekmans Heftrucks B.V. founded in Nieuwkuijk with a building parallel to the A59, a busy highway. He started with just a van with tools and Beekmans Heftrucks advertising on the facade. Partly due to this advertising and unstoppable motivation, Beekmans Heftrucks has grown into a healthy company.

Our client's team consists of the best people, with the best qualities, but you can certainly call them idiosyncratic. This unleashes the rebellious in them with outspoken opinions, to go the extra mile every day. This makes the team unique, diverse and challenging.
Our customer can tell you all kinds of things about how they are the warehouse provider in the Netherlands. But they know this and for convenience they assume that you already know this too. What we can tell you better is that they are a Brabant, Burgundian and accessible company where fun, humor and conviviality come first in the work. How do they let you know this? By exercising together twice a week and just when you think, I'm doing well, we ruin this again on Friday afternoon with our nice drinks, as we said before, a bit rebellious. And if you laugh at our jokes, you will certainly be liked by us.
