MAP is using FHP15R overhead block clamp attachments

MAP Building & Civil Engineering Supplies, based in Stanton by Dale, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, has turned to B&B Attachments to boost productivity.

Established in 2003, MAP is an independent builders merchant specialising in the supply of heavy materials to builders and civil engineering contractors.

The company operates a fleet of 11 trucks capable of handling a wide range of general builders merchants materials such as cement, class b engineering bricks, concrete common bricks, British standard kerbs, flags and block paving, concrete and steel lintels and reinforcement fabric.

To assist with the processes of handling its goods, the builders merchant turned to B&B Attachments.

Following a full site survey, B&B Attachments, together with Linde Material Handling, supplied MAP with a bespoke rotating overhead clamp forklift attachment. This attachment is part of a range specially developed by B&B for builders merchants. The FHP15R attachment is the ideal solution for loading and handling the large amount of brick and block packs which are delivered to MAP on a daily basis.

The FHP15R overhead block clamp attachment is part of B&B's BlockMaster range which has been designed to withstand the tough environment of the brick and block industry. The FHP15R attachment is rated 1,500 kg at 1,100 mm and has been fitted to a 3,500 kg Linde truck.

This attachment is a popular choice for yard work and loading, and it offers excellent durability, serviceability and performance.

Andy Schofield, MAP transport and yard manager, says: "Attention to detail and quality is evident in the design features of this attachment. We are delighted with the speed, versatility and ease of use it gives us when moving our products. It has helped improve our daily productivity and B&B's expertise and knowledge is second to none."
