Greener Caterpillar fleet
June 1st 2008 PalletFORCE, working with
Briggs Equipment, has
invested nearly £300,000 in
a fleet of new Caterpillar
GP25N trucks with engine
protection systems. The gas
forklift trucks will achieve
increased turnaround on
pallet movements, reduce
emissions and cut fleet
operation costs.
The greener trucks have
new industrial K series LPG
engines and Class 1 catalytic
converters. The engine
management system
incorporates automatic idle
control, speed controller and
automatic air/fuel ratio
control. The trucks have high
performance, low exhaust
emissions and more efficient
fuel consumption. They can
be used both indoors and
out, and even when working
indoors, these trucks reduce
noise levels, meeting the
Noise at Work Act 2006
requirements.
"Many of our drivers
simply won't drive anything
else," comments Carl Worgan
PalletFORCE operations
director. "They can work fast
and safe with great
efficiency." More articles from Briggs Equipment UK Ltd: |
