CVS Ferrari has partnered with Wolfenbüttel-based GS-Gabelstapler Service to widen its sales and support footprint across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The independent dealer will now incorporate CVS heavy-duty lift trucks into its rental and demonstration equipment offerings.
Why it matters
This partnership aims to increase regional availability and customer support for specialized industrial equipment. It follows a shift in corporate ownership that has seen CVS Ferrari focus on growing its international sales network.
GS-Gabelstapler Service has served its region for more than 45 years and currently manages heavy-duty lift trucks with rated capacities ranging from 16 to 52 tons. The firm also handles equipment that features container stacking capacities of six high for reachstackers and eight high for empty handlers.
The players
CVS Ferrari
A manufacturer of heavy-duty lift trucks and container handlers with a history dating back to 1973.
GS-Gabelstapler Service
A Wolfenbüttel-based dealer with 45 years of service history in the German industrial equipment market.
Taylor
The majority stakeholder in CVS Ferrari that acquired an 85% interest in the company in 2024.
The details
As the first independent dealer appointed by CVS Ferrari Deutschland, the new partner will integrate these lift trucks into its existing fleet, which already includes authorized Toyota Material Handling equipment. The dealer provides comprehensive support through rental and demonstration units, alongside established equipment financing options such as leasing and hire-purchase programs. This structure allows the manufacturer to streamline service delivery through a partner already embedded in the Hanover, Helmstedt, Celle, Göttingen, and Harz areas.
Timeline

The Home Front
The move marks a shift in how industrial manufacturers manage regional service networks following various corporate transitions. This expansion follows the structural changes initiated after NEIP III divested its interest and Taylor assumed majority control of the brand.
Business owners in the Hanover, Helmstedt, Celle, Göttingen, and Harz areas can now consult the local dealer for professional equipment demonstrations. Those looking to procure heavy-duty lifting equipment should inquire about available financing options, including leasing and hire-purchase terms.
The takeaway
Reliable access to industrial equipment often depends on the strength of local dealer networks and their service capabilities. Keep contact information for authorized regional dealers on file to ensure you have professional support for equipment maintenance and procurement needs.
