Half dozen delivery

MGM Timber (Scotland) has taken delivery of six Combilift 4-way forklifts which will be used in its locations across the country to improve the handling and storage procedures of the company's wide range of forest products.

Eight of its twelve branches are now equipped with Combilifts after trials of the trucks when the Oban and Prestwick sites were opened.

"Brian Docherty of our long term service provider Douglas Gillespie Plant (DGP) recommended the versatile qualities of the Combilift as being ideal for our requirements and this proved to be excellent advice," says MD Scott Cairns.

MGM had previously needed a combination of sideloaders and counterbalance forklifts to cope with its varying load sizes. The Combilift's ability to work as a sideloader plus its 4-way capability eliminates the need for multiple machines.
