Impress updates factory's fleet
Milton Keynes, United KingdomImpress Group, a global metal packaging solutions provider, has upgraded its forklift fleet at its Merthyr Tydfil aerosol factory with a fleet of 15 counterbalance trucks and one pedestrian stacker from Jungheinrich.
The counterbalance trucks are a mix of LPG and electric models. The LPG trucks are from Jungheinrich's TFG range featuring hydrostatic drive. The three-wheel electric models use fourth-generation AC technology.
Impress recently invested in a new production line at the Merthyr Tydfil site and the new forklift fleet was a part of the upgrade.
The forklifts replaced a mixed fleet that had reached the end of its contract. Both parties declined to disclose the value of the order.
SAB turns to Doosan
Johannesburg, South AfricaSouth African Breweries (SAB) and its soft drinks division, Amalgamated Beverage Industries (ABI), have received a delivery of 150 Doosan forklifts from MPM Forklifts, a Goscor Lift Truck Company (GLTC) partner.
MPM Forklifts spokesman Shaun Morton says the company is pleased to receive the order from a "prestigious company" like SAB.
Most of the forklifts sold to SAB and ABI are the Doosan Pro 5 series forklifts, which GLTC managing director Darryl Shafto claims have been a success.
"Uptime is the holy grail in this industry and these vehicles, with their enhanced technology, operator comfort refinements, performance efficiencies and serviceability advances undoubtedly help in this quest," Shafto says.
