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.”
