Barloworld helps Dr Who save the world
10/1/2008

Barloworld forklift helps Kylie save the Titanic in Doctor Who. Hyster modified for Dr Who


If, like 12 Million other viewers, you watched Doctor Who on Christmas Day, then you will have seen Kylie Minogue help prevent the Titanic, a luxury spaceship, crashing into Buckingham Palace, by ramming the evil Max Capricorn with a forklift truck.

Beneath the red paint and ‘BBC prop' attachments was a Hyster electric counterbalance forklift truck supplied by Barloworld Handling in Cardiff. Doctor Who fans will know that much of the filming is done on location in Wales where Barloworld provides the BBC with a variety of handling solutions.

Sandra Thompson of Barloworld in Cardiff explains "We have a long relationship with the BBC and have been called upon to help with the strangest projects such as building the Doctor's Tardis. This was however the first time that a Hyster truck has been used onscreen. Perhaps next series, one of our forklifts will help fight the Daleks!"

Barloworld is already on its next mission behind the scenes helping the BBC bring the next Doctor Who adventure to life.
