Jungheinrich will support two major air shows in the UK.

Jungheinrich UK's Event Hire division has secured a double win by being awarded contracts to supply materials handling equipment for two of the biggest commercial and military airshows in the UK in 2016.

Jungheinrich will be providing a range of counterbalance forklifts, telehandlers and rough-terrain trucks from its extensive UK rental fleet for both the Farnborough International Airshow and the Royal International Air Tattoo this July.

Vehicles are already on site in Farnborough, assisting a team of 50 personnel from specialist structures company De Boer to construct a colossal 'village' of temporary single- and double-storey buildings. The result will be the world's largest temporary exhibition space, as well as chalets for corporate entertaining, a media centre, and medical and catering facilities.

Peter Spruce, De Boer managing director, says, "The Airshow is very important to De Boer and we have to be able to rely on thoroughly professional supply partners. I am pleased to say that Jungheinrich provides great service and an excellent product - so they meet this demand perfectly."

Adam Cafe, event hire manager at Jungheinrich UK, says this is the second time his company is supporting the Royal International Air Tattoo, organized by the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises .

Andy Darrall, ground operations manager for The Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, is confident that the quality of equipment "coming our way will again live up to the name of Jungheinrich and assist us in building our showground for what will be another great and exciting airshow".
