5-year contract

Linde Material Handling (UK) has been awarded a 5-year contract to supply more than 800 forklifts to TDG sites throughout the UK.

Jonathan Fletcher, TDG procurement director, says: "Linde's sophisticated fleet management systems helps us optimise utilisation but, perhaps equally important, is the support Linde can offer our operations which enables us to pass on these efficiencies to customers." One way which Linde is making the fleet more cost-effective is by deploying high-frequency chargers through all of the electric fleet.

Fletcher explains: "We now have an improved, cost-effective replacement cycle coupled to all our electric fleet using HF chargers. Deploying these chargers into the operation has reduced operating costs, reduced charge cycle times and reduced TDG's carbon footprint through a more efficient use of electricity."
