Hire truck boost

Linde Material Handling has
invested £2.9m into strengthening its
forklift truck hire offering throughout
the UK, including its heavy trucks
fleet. Linde says that the investment
will further enhance its position as the
largest supplier of short term hire
trucks, now totalling over 10,000
machines across its UK network.

In the run up to Christmas,
Frenchay Forestry, wholesalers of
Christmas trees, hire two engine
counterbalance trucks from Linde
which move in the region of 40,000
palletised Christmas trees. Partner
Richard Whittle said: “The bulk of
our business is completed in a three
week period, working round the clock
to timed deliveries, so we can’t afford
any downtime. We know we can rely
on Linde to provide us with reliable
machines for as long as we need.”
