Doosan's Pro-5 series forklifts at SCA Packaging
July 22nd 2008

Doosan's latest Pro-5 Series forklifts are being put through their paces by SCA Packaging in Wigan, one of the largest and oldest sites of its type in the country. The eight new trucks, including two D90 nine tonne capacity machines with paper clamps, are helping SCA produce up to 110 million square metres of cardboard boxes every year.

With a product portfolio that includes transport, consumer and display packaging, customised protective packaging and industrial packaging, SCA Packaging prides itself on providing answers to each market requirement. The company places an emphasis on state of the art design and local service close to customer facilities. Little surprise then, that service and reliability were high on SCA’s own agenda when it was looking to replace its fleet.

Doosan’s UK general sales manager, Paul Watson, believes excellent mast visibility, high travel speeds and operator comfort played key roles in securing the deal. Said Paul: “We were delighted with the feedback we received from SCA’s team, particularly regarding them getting the job done quicker with our machines. Not only did we improve on their ability to travel from A to B, but also in terms of lifting and lowering.” Additional clamp switches and auto-tilt levelling also added further levels of safety.

Doosan forklifts are available in 1.0 to 5.0t capacity electric versions and 1.5 to 16.0t capacity IC versions. There are two model ranges: the high specification Pro-5 Range and the economy GX Series.
