Two Mitsubishi Forklift
Trucks authorised dealers,
Jofson and Kin, have been
awarded what is said to be
one of the largest single
orders placed in the UK in
the last 12 months.

The order for more than
130 new trucks was placed by
chilled foods firm, Dairy
Crest, to handle brands such
as Cathedral City, Country
Life, Frijj and Clover at six of
its production sites, and to
work in nearly half of its
household delivery sites,
carrying milk and much
more.

Jofson covers the West
Midlands, and Kin is based in
Manchester. Both dealers
have in-depth knowledge of
chilled food applications. In
fact, Kin has first-hand
experience of operations at
Dairy Crest, having supplied
and maintained forklifts at
many of the company’s
depots for over 15 years.

The majority of household
sites took delivery of the
Mitsubishi FB16NT AC
powered three-wheel electric
trucks. To meet the demands
of the application, each of
these workhorses was fitted
with four-prong Invicta milk
tines and Hoppecke batteries
and chargers.
