Cultivating easy handling

Members of a local allotment in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham have clubbed together to buy their own hand pallet truck, a BT Lifter hand pallet truck. Run by volunteers, Fulham Palace Meadows Allotment Association has 406 plots and an onsite shop supplying essentials for the allotment's 1000 members.

The shop receives a weekly delivery of supplies including fertiliser and composted manure both heavy to move but needed throughout the site. The traditional wheel barrows used for many years have now been replaced with the BT Lifter hand pallet truck, allowing heavier loads to be transported around the site with ease.
