TMHUK donates stacker
Slough, United KingdomToyota Material Handling UK has donated a BT Staxio powered stacker to Naomi House and Jacksplace hospices for children and young adults.
The charity raises funds through its retail outlets whose number is increasing yearly. To support the expansion, the charity has recently moved to a bigger warehouse, enabling the storage of more stock. The donated stacker will reduce manual handling and also create a safer and more efficient warehouse.
The truck donation has meant that the money saved can be used to care for people.
The hospice provides care to young people and their families in communities in central southern England.
