Palletline Invests in Lpg Gas Forklifts

Palletline, one of the UK’s leading palletised distribution networks, has invested in a new fleet of 40 lpg powered Hyster Fortens lift trucks for its distribution hubs in Solihull near Birmingham and Perivale Park, London. The bulk of the new fleet is deployed at Palletline’s new central hub in Solihull, which the company opened at the end of last year.

The company’s forklift fleet consists of forty 2,000kg capacity Hyster H2.0FT Fortens Advance fork trucks.

Mark Pulford, operations director at Palletline, said: “We are maintaining a close focus on efficiency across all our processes to match the cost, safety and operational improvements already achieved at our new hub. For our forklift fleet, we were looking to achieve optimum levels of reliability and performance, together with advanced technology for reduced wear and tear and improved ergonomics for our operators. We believe these new models will give unprecedented levels of reliability and reduced cost of operation, helping us to deliver significant operational savings.”

Barloworld maintains an onsite servicing bay manned by its engineers to carry out regular planned maintenance on the trucks. The company has also installed a telemetry device to each truck to monitor the productivity and automatically upload information, such as run time and availability, to Barloworld’s Fleet Management portal.
