Pall-Ex buys 45 LPG forklifts
Pall-Ex has invested over £250,000 upgrading its fleet of forklift trucks to include 45 brand-new liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles.
This move is designed to improve efficiency prior to the upcoming seasonal peak. The new Hyster H2.0FT Advance trucks were supplied by Pall-Ex’s long-term partner, materials handling equipment supplier Briggs Equipment. The trucks are fitted with telematics monitoring devices and pedestrian awareness blue light safety technology.
Richard Southern, general hub manager at Pall-Ex said: “Operationally, we’ve reduced overheads by. We’re also seeing better accuracy and in turn, increased customer and staff satisfaction, as well as safer working practices.”
Cameron Freakley, forklift truck operator at Pall-Ex added: “The telematics system on the trucks makes our pre-shift check a lot easier to follow and complete, and proactively ensures any serious issues are avoided by disabling the engine as soon as any system error is picked up. Steering is light and responsive.”
