3PL takes on reach trucks

The trucks are supplied under a long-term contract hire agreement with all-inclusive service and maintenance provision.

Lemonpath MD Chris Antliff, says: “Impact really took the time to get to know our operations, and helped us specify the right mix and models of materials handling equipment for this order. 

“We especially appreciate the flexibility the company offers in its contracts, as we encounter seasonal periods of peak demand every year – peaks Impact can help us manage with the provision of additional equipment when required, as a ‘bolt-on’ to the contract. This means we can meet our own customers’ exacting orders on time, without fail.”

The 12 new arrivals will be in operation 12 hours a day, five days per week across Lemonpath’s two main sites in Leicester, operating across 450,000 sq ft of warehouse space. 

The trucks will be used to load varied cargo – from garments to gifts to ‘goody bags’ – on to pallets, and into the trailers of Lemonpath’s wide-ranging distribution fleet.

“Impact’s all-inclusive contract hire package helps us hit the high materials handling fleet uptime target that’s a cornerstone of the packing business,” adds Antliff. “Impact’s engineers ensure their visits are out of hours, wherever possible, and knowing any potential issues with our trucks will be spotted and rectified before they become a problem offers considerable peace of mind.”
