A fleet of five Mitsubishi Grendia
trucks has been credited with making
an 'enormous' difference to Solent
Stevedores' cargo handling operations
at sugar giant Tate & Lyle's Silvertown
facility, improving loading times by
15%. Each month, up to 4000t of
loose sugar is transported by sea from
the sugar manufacturer's East London
dock.
The trucks, supplied by Bronze Mechanical Handling, are fitted with Cascade double pallet handler attachments. Bronze's sales director Chris Slater, said: "The customer required all of the power and speed of a diesel... with none of the associated emissions. The FG30N benefits from an advanced, clean-burning engine that comes with a three-way catalytic convertor as standard."
