Bofan × LGIV: field experience in Türkiye meets LGIV forklift technology.

Your reliable partner in Türkiye

With a 51-year commercial history in Gebze/Kocaeli, the Çölgeçen family continues its activities under Timkon Group, one of Türkiye's well-established groups, officially incorporated in 1985.

Having entered the construction sector in 1994, the group has provided nationwide sales and after-sales service since 2015 through Bofan Makine Hırdavat, with nearly ten thousand products in chemicals, occupational safety, technical hardware, building materials and hand tools.

In 2021 Bofan Makina, with a team of over 75 people, started renting scissor, articulated, vertical, telescopic, basket and spider platforms, telehandlers and forklifts, and also provides loading, unloading, transport and installation services.
