Manufacturer of corrugated
cardboard and packaging
product, W E Roberts
Group operates a punishing tripleshift
operation that had taken its toll
on a previous forklift fleet.

Recognising the need for a more
substantial fleet, financial director
Richard Puffette, turned to Bronze
Mechanical Handling, his local
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks dealer for
Kent and the South East
After assessing the application at
WER’s production plant in Kent,
Bronze sales director Chris Slater
recommended four 2t GRENDIA
diesel counterbalance trucks (FD20).

Slater says: “With its heavy-duty
construction and high-visibility mast,
this model enables drivers to manoeuvre
loads of any size with complete
confidence. The trucks have been
carefully specified to achieve optimal
performance and the best return on
investment for the customer.

“The dust and particles generated
by the manufacture of corrugated
cardboard are potentially lethal to a
forklift.We had special filters and
covers from the Mitsubishi Dust-Plus
Protection Package fitted to safeguard
the engine and other systems.”
