Trucks sweet for Tate & Lyle
August 1st 2011 A fleet of five Mitsubishi GRENDIA
trucks has been credited with
making an 'enormous' difference to
Solent Stevedores' cargo handling
operations at sugar giant Tate &
Lyle's Silvertown facility.
Each month, up to 4,000 tonnes of
loose sugar is transported by sea
from the sugar manufacturer's East
London dock. Solent Stevedores has
been responsible for ensuring
products are moved swiftly and
efficiently from warehouse to ship
container holds.
Long battery changeovers, truck
breakdowns and poor servicing of
their previous fleet led Solent
Stevedores operations manager
Martin Hiscock to put his materials
handling supply out to tender. He
explains: "We had two key aims. Our
new fleet needed to deliver on
performance and reliability."
After careful consideration, he
chose to work with the premier
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks dealer for
the South East, Bronze Mechanical
Handling. "They were able to deliver
us with the best products, the best
turnarounds as well as the best after
sales service." More articles from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK: |
