Embracing second life

The profile of the type of company that looks to the second hand market for its materials handling equipment has changed dramatically in recent years as the testing economic trading conditions have compelled all firms to seek to maximise value across their forklift fleets.

Just one of the companies attracted to the Jungheinrich used truck offer is Franklin Silencers; the Northampton-based manufacturer of industrial silencers decided to upgrade its materials handling equipment and, having looked at what was available on the market, opted for Jungheinrich electric and LPG 'second life' trucks.

Jungheinrich's second-hand equipment is marketed under the 'Ready To Go' brand.
