Pets at Home buys Toyota trucks

Pets at Home has chosen Toyota Material Handling UK as its materials handling supplier at its new distribution centre in Northampton.

The fleet includes over 40 counterbalance and warehouse trucks including Toyota Tonero engine-powered forklifts, BT Reflex reach trucks, BT Levio ride-on powered pallet trucks and BT Optio low-level order pickers. Alan Billington, regional sales manager for Toyota explains: "One of the key factors in Pets at Home's decision was that they needed visibility of their fleet so that they could effectively manage costs. To achieve this, the trucks on-site are fitted with a Toyota Wireless Information System as part of the I_Site fleet management system."
