Load off the mind

James E. Smith (Northern) imports timber to its new location in Hull. It has recently invested in Bulmor Lancer’s sideloader trucks which, it says, represent a rapid and effective return on investment.

The company moves some 3000m3 of timber per month and needed to replace its aging trucks. Bulmor Lancer’s sideloader design is well suited to the shape and nature of timber products, taking into account length and prevention of bending and damage. The company says the trucks are especially suited to handling long loads in confined spaces.

 

Also of note, a comprehensive manufacturer service package ensures a continually smooth operation which in turn maintains customer deliveries and goodwill. 

Bulmor Lancer has a policy of manufacturing precisely to match customer requirements. At James E. Smith this translates into a highly practical specification of diesel engine sideloaders with especially low 850mm platforms; 5000kg capacity; 1200mm platform width; 4500mm lift height and full free lift. 

Steve Parkin of James E. Smith (Northern) Ltd is very happy on several counts “We have really got good value for our budget. The new Bulmor trucks have significantly improved our speed of operation. The low profile and small wheelbase means they are quick and versatile and the tight turning circle is particularly good for use inside our warehouses. We like the precise controls which are very driver friendly and I would simply say that they are much better than our previous trucks”
