Heathrow site replaces IC trucks
Unilode Aviation Solutions, a service provider to the aviation sector, has invested in electrification with Briggs Equipment following the introduction of electric Hyster trucks to its Heathrow site.
THE NEW forklifts replace a fleet of gas machines and will allow Unilode to deliver on its sustainability targets and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, Unilode will benefit from lower operational and maintenance costs, underlining the long-term benefits of choosing electric.
The new trucks are already making a positive impact on-site, with positive feedback received from operators on their comfort, ease of use and extensive safety features.
Unilode chief operating officer Babak Yazdani, says: “The new electric trucks supplied by Briggs Equipment are a fantastic addition to our industrial equipment fleet. The new equipment is cleaner, greener and more efficient, helping our operators complete their work with greater precision. These are more productive forklifts with zero emissions that will help us to continue reducing our carbon footprint. Over the coming year more stations in our MRO network will be making this change to further enhance the sustainability of Unilode's ULD solutions.”
Briggs Equipment senior sales executive Ben Creighton, adds: “Right throughout the tender process, Unilode has shown a clear commitment towards reducing environmental impact and delivering on their carbon footprint objectives.
“At Briggs, we are committed to helping our customers build an effective and future proofed carbon strategy that is capable of evolving with our customers.”
