Fuel savings prompt repeat business

The company spoke with its dealer, Bronze Mechanical Handling. An order picker and 10 more LPG-powered GRENDiA units were delivered, bringing the number of machines from Bronze at Simarco depots to 25.

Trevor Scott, MD of Simarco, explains: "We wanted more GRENDiA trucks because of their incredible performance. The most important thing our company looks for in forklifts is reliability and fuel efficiency, and Mitsubishi gives us that.”

The GRENDiA has very little environmental impact and incorporates technology to optimise air quality with 3-way catalytic convertors and a belly seal. The machines also reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions, as well as 95% of dangerous NOx gases.

Bronze Sales Director, Chris Slater said: “Simarco are an environmentally aware company. Therefore, the trucks were specified with that in mind, without compromising on quality, reliability or fuel saving – all of which the GRENDiA is great for.”

Moving forward, Simarco are looking to go further down the environmental route with its future fleet expansions.

“We aim to go completely electric with our trucks within the next 3–5 years. Bronze are assisting us with the transition and will continue to provide alternative models as we phase out LPG,” said Trevor Scott.
 
Having been highly impressed by the GRENDiA trucks, Simarco will be moving over to the EDiA range, continuing to benefit from the Mitsubishi quality and cutting-edge features they have become accustomed to.

Chris Slater remarked: “Over the years, we’ve seen Simarco grow as a business and now we’re assisting them in the movement towards electric trucks across their entire fleet.

“With our close working relationship, we’ve proven our trust with Simarco and we’re ready to react to any changes they need.”

Trevor Scott concludes: “The support from Bronze is always excellent, and they respond to any call-outs or questions very swiftly. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as a preferred supplier for materials handling equipment.”
