PM Rees has taken delivery of a SANY SDCY-80K6G empty container handler

The heavy lifting division of Cooper Handling has helped a well-established haulage, tank and garage services business to improve its ability to handle empty tanks by supplying the latest generation of container handler.

Barry-based PM Rees has taken delivery of a SANY SDCY-80K6G empty container handler to add to its fleet of Konecranes machines, which were also supplied by Cooper Specialised Handling.

For almost a decade, the two companies have been working closely together as PM Rees has invested in Konecranes laden and unladen reachstackers to meet the demands of its increasing customer throughput. Faced with a growing need to deal with empty tanks, PM Rees turned to Cooper for advice on a new empty container handler that could cope with the challenging workload.

Peter Rees, managing director at PM Rees, says investing in the latest specification heavy lifting equipment will enhance his business's ability to deal with the increasing volume of empty tanks passing through its facility in Barry, South Wales.

Servicing and maintenance for the new SANY machine will be provided on a full service agreement by the Cooper Solutions team of highly skilled engineers.
