Modified for tough environment
AV Dawson has taken delivery of five heavy-duty lift trucks at its 150 acre Lackenby site, near Middlesbrough as part of a £1 million pound deal with Cooper, as the integrated logistics company looks to increase its capacity at the facility – one of its two facilities that currently serve the Tata steel plant.
The new trucks supplied by Cooper Handling have been modified to meet the demands of moving 29-30ft steel sections in a tough environment close to the massive Tata works. They have each been upgraded to withstand the extra tension and pressure of the steel loads whilst the overall reliability offered by the Konecranes equipment proved a key factor in securing the contract.
They are also equipped to sense the load and adapt the lifting power to the weight of the load. The trucks provide maximum power only when needed, so it consumes less fuel while reducing emissions and noise.
