Hire trucks, higher cash flow
August 1st 2009 Independent tile importer,
Cosmo Ceramics, transports
100t of granite, marble,
porcelain and ceramic tiles
each week and relies on a
fleet of reach and
counterbalance trucks to
keep operations running
smoothly seven days a
week.
When the trucks became
too expensive to repair,
director Peter Haig turned to
Glasgow-based Mitsubishi
Forklift Trucks dealer
Douglas Gillespie Plant
(DGP). To control materials
handling costs more
efficiently, Cosmo Ceramics
opted for a fixed term
contract hire agreement.
Haig explains: "Leasing
these robust, new Mitsubishi
vehicles allows us to
maximise cash flow while
continuing to provide a
seamless and highly
efficient service – round the
clock."
To cope with the narrow
aisles and high racking in
this application, the trucks
used must have high lift
capabilities and tight turning
circles. DGP recommended
the Mitsubishi 2.5t reach
truck (RB25NH) – said to be
one of the strongest trucks
of its kind on the market,
with lifts of up to 9.5m. More articles from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK: |
