A proven history in Australia dating back to the late 1980s.
Multi-Shifter invented the first battery handling system in 1974, when founders Donald Pratt and Bud Roberts recognized the need for equipment to safely handle and exchange heavy forklift batteries. That first system, sold to J.P. Stevens in Clemson, SC, launched an entire industry.
Today, with over 2,000 systems installed worldwide across North America, Australia, and Europe, Multi-Shifter Australia serves the national market with the full product range — battery handling equipment, mobile weighing, single-point watering, and safety products.
Our signature Magnetic Draw Bar delivers 1,200 lb pull force with a 5-year warranty. Over 200 MS Series systems from the 1990s are still in operation today — built to last decades, not years.
We serve some of Australia's most demanding industries: online fulfilment centres, food distribution, 3PL warehousing, pharmaceutical, beverage bottling, and automotive parts. Every system is backed by factory training, 24/7 parts support, and custom system planning with site-specific drawings.
