Reliable and intelligent solutions for horticulture

At Prins, we understand that in greenhouse horticulture, you’re not just looking for a machine, but for a partner who truly understands your crops and greenhouse operations. A partner who understands what industry-specific terms such as ‘fust’, ‘aisle width’, ‘crop rotation’, ‘auction-ready’ and ‘CC containers’ mean. Our own Prins forklifts have been specifically developed for the unique challenges you face every day in greenhouse horticulture. Our forklifts are fitted with specialist non-marking tyres. Think of extremely narrow aisles where every centimetre counts and the need for emission-free operations to maintain an optimal growing climate.

We do not supply standard forklifts; we provide a comprehensive solution that fits seamlessly into your cultivation process. It is therefore no coincidence that the Netherlands’ largest growers have relied on our expertise and reliability for their internal logistics for many years. Thanks to our specific focus on ornamental, vegetable and fruit cultivation, we know exactly how to move your delicate products safely. We have supported the evolution of greenhouse horticulture for decades. The Prins forklift for greenhouse horticulture is built for the job. It is renowned for its compact design and large tyres, which ensure stability on unpaved terrain, such as outdoors at the nursery. With a Prins machine, you are choosing the reliability of smart technology, allowing you to focus entirely on a perfectly healthy end product.

Bespoke attachments designed specifically for horticulture

At Prins, bespoke solutions are the standard. We build attachments that fit your product perfectly. Whether you’re moving delicate plants with special plant forks or tipping containers with our rotators, we ensure the machine works for your crop, not the other way round. It’s no coincidence that the largest floriculture and vegetable growers rely on the specialist expertise of Prins. You can also rely on all the additional tools and attachments we tailor specifically to your unique operations. Whether it’s customised clamps for unusual pot sizes or specialised systems that contribute to your crop protection: our bespoke solutions ensure the machine adapts fully to your product, rather than the other way round. This focus on your specific operational challenges ensures measurable improvements in efficiency and productivity. A Prins truck becomes a specialised extension of your operational team, enabling you to achieve maximum precision and speed in every aspect of your logistics.
