Trucks with light touch
January 1st 2008

When Glasgow-based specialist foam manufacturer Caledonian Industries' forklift contract came up for renewal, the choice was simple – and based entirely on trust.

"We knew exactly where to go for impartial, expert advice," says Caledonian MD Alan Thornton.

"We've worked with Douglas Gillespie Plant for nearly 40 years and I can always rely on them to identify the trucks that will best meet our particular needs." Caledonian's engineering manager David Thompson explains: "Our products are lightweight, and the operating environment is benign, so you'd think any forklift would find this a doddle. But we work long shifts, indoors, and our products need to be handled with kid gloves." Having assessed the site and the truck's duties, DGP recommended a new Mitsubishi FB16NT threewheel electric counterbalance forklift.
