Sweet solution

Forklift operators at the West Yorkshire site of candy maker, Pecan Deluxe Candy (Europe), spend up to 90% of their day shuttling goods outside.While this is pleasant on sunny days, increasingly harsh British winters were taking their toll on the company's fleet of trucks and its workforce, impacting productivity.

These issues have been resolved with a new fleet of trucks from local authorised Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks dealer, Rushlift. The fleet includes a versatile 1600kg capacity pedestrian power pallet truck, which transports loads over distances of up to 20m. And, thanks to four highly specified 2t electric counterbalance trucks (FB20NT), there is no need for any operator to endure the elements while shuttling products outdoors.
