Yale Thirsts for Success with Veracitor GLP20VX Lpg Forklift Trucks at Greencore Mineral Water

Yale has supplied lpg-powered Veracitor GLP20VX forklift trucks to Greencore Mineral Water at Lennoxtown in Scotland, a leading producer of customer-branded still and sparkling mineral water.

Yale has supplied several forklift tricks to the Lennoxtown bottling plant since the facility opened in 1987. The latest contract is for five 2.0 tonne lpg gas-powered counterbalance forklift trucks for use in the raw materials store and for offloading and transferring full pallets to trailers and into the warehouse.

Greencore’s warehouse manager Jamie McNair said: “Yale has always provided us with excellent service from its depot in Glasgow and the improvements to the latest Veracitor VX 2.0 tonne capacity forklift trucks have helped to make our operation even more efficient. We are handling over 300 pallets per shift, so forklift reliability and productivity was very important in our decision to continue working with Yale. The new Veracitor VX lp gas forklift trucks have proved very successful and are ideal for working in both our raw materials store and the new drive-in racking warehouse.”

Yale says it has introduced its EZ-Tank Drop-Down Bracket to the Veracitor VX to make changing the lpg gas cylinders easier. The operator rotates the lpg cylinder down into a lower vertical position to remove and replace the cylinder without causing back strain. Dave Reaney, Yale’s regional manager with responsibility for Scotland, said: “The Greencore plant at Lennoxtown is an excellent example of efficiency, where we have a thorough understanding of the operation and their materials handling requirements. By working closely with Greencore Mineral Water, we are able to help them maintain a high level of productivity by using the latest Yale Veracitor VX lpg forklift trucks at the lowest overall cost of operation.”
