Container storage hub makes investment

CCS have fast become one of the Midland’s leading hub for container storage, sales and repairs and their eight-acre site in Oldbury is purpose-built for container storage along with designated wash bay areas for special chemical cleaning and container repairs.

The machine, supplied by Cooper Specialised Handling, is handling empty 20-40ft standard, high cube and pallet wide containers, can lift 7 high containers at 8’6” or 6 high at 9’6” and is powered by a Volvo engine in conjunction with a Dana transmission and Kessler drive axle. The machine is supplied with a large cabin, additional driver comforts within the cabin including reverse camera system and the XL heated air seat. Coupled with the intrinsic safety features build into the Sany as standard such as speed restrictors is Sany’s well renowned rear-end stability, arguably regarded as being the highest in the market. The machine offers the blend of strength, stability and agility required by CCS.

CCS also took benefit of the business model that Sany is using to great effect involving with stock machines available at short delivery times making business decisions that much easier. By stocking machines and yet still having the ability to supply an element of customisation at the Sany plant in Bedburg, Germany, CCS have managed to avoid the typical 6-month wait for container-handling supply – a point not lost on CCS owners.
