Forest products handled

MGM Timber (Scotland) has taken
delivery of six Combilift 4-way
forklifts for use in its locations across
the country to improve the handling
and storage of its wide range of forest
products, such as structural and
aesthetic timbers, sheet materials,
joinery, decking and flooring
products as well as insulation and
plasterboard products.

MGM had previously used
sideloaders and counterbalance
forklifts to cope with the varying load
sizes, ranging from palletised goods to
6m long packs of timber. The trucks’
ability to work as a sideloader as well
as a conventional truck plus the 4-
way capability eliminates the need for
multiple machines. Operations are
speeded up as drivers no longer need
to switch from one truck to another,
and the number of forklift
movements is reduced for enhanced
health and safety procedures.
