Gale says: “ Our attainment of ISO 14001 is fundamental to how we go about our business and it underpins our environmental management system to reduce impact and ensure legal compliance and total site care. When I was looking at the forklift market Bulmor Lancer just sounded right and at optimum price. Notably the new Perkins water-cooled diesel engines comply crucially to 3B tier 4 and are fitted with DPF. In addition, the sideloader design is ideal for the role, helping ensure we can meet demanding despatch and delivery schedules.

"A core aspect in our choice was the ability to match our own special requirements with the standard advanced features. These included special size forks,extra lights, which mean longer hours and better safety,  as does the zone safe proximimity system, luxury modern safety cabs to assist the operator and the big wheels which make for a more stable drive on any surface and are ideal for the relatively long distances we need them to work.

"The reliability of these new trucks has already proved to be significantly better than usual during the 50 to 60h working weeks and the service and parts support is a major facet."
