Forklift operators at the West
Yorkshire site of candy maker, Pecan
Deluxe Candy (Europe), spend up to
90% of their day shuttling goods
outside.While this is pleasant on
sunny days, increasingly harsh British
winters were taking their toll on the
company’s fleet of trucks and its
workforce, impacting productivity.

These issues have been resolved
with a new fleet of trucks from local
authorised Mitsubishi Forklift
Trucks dealer, Rushlift. The fleet
includes a versatile 1600kg capacity
pedestrian power pallet truck, which
transports loads over distances of up
to 20m. And, thanks to four highly
specified 2t electric counterbalance
trucks (FB20NT), there is no need for
any operator to endure the elements
while shuttling products outdoors.
