TVH purchases parts worldwide for forklifts, aerial work platforms, telehandlers, scissor lifts, agricultural tractors, mini excavators, golf carts, … in short, almost all types of industrial vehicles, regardless of brand, type, or year of manufacture. The unrivalled expertise of our purchasing department has resulted in a database of more than 44,000,000 item numbers, with over 930,000 different references kept in stock.

After a thorough training period, you will become, as a Product Purchaser, the specialist for product categories within engine parts, across the different equipment markets.

Together with your team, you will also act as a backup for mast bearings and rolling equipment for mini excavators.
