Linde Material Handling (UK) Ltd has installed three K range very narrow aisle trucks at the recently expanded Davies Turner freight and logistics hub in Bristol. To enable pallet retrieval from this location, Davies Turner needed a truck with a substantial lift height capability of over 16 metres - an industry first. Linde, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of forklifts and warehouse equipment, was able to effectively deliver the solution. The lift heights of these newly acquired Linde trucks currently exceed those of any application on record.

Roger Lucy, Director for Davies Turner said,

Linde were able to meet the specific requirements that we had in Avonmouth. They helped us gain maximum benefit from our new building and I am very pleased with the final outcome.

Part of the Linde package also included training one of the five Davies Turner operators at Linde’s headquarters in Basingstoke on a ‘train the trainer’ course enabling him to train his colleagues in the safe operation of this specialised equipment.
