Powerful solution

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has supplied Tarmac Building Products (TBP), one of the UK’s largest construction manufacturers, with an efficient new fleet of 13 medium fork lift trucks comprising eight Kalmar DCG100-6 forklifts, three Kalmar DCG140-6 forklifts and two Kalmar DCG120-6 forklifts.

Each type of forklift is designed to offer benefits for specific environments, making them ideal for loading the range of heavy construction materials used by TBP.

Bob Godfrey, senior operations manager at TBP, said: “Our drivers had exposure to more than one type of manufacturers’ truck, and they trialled each one before giving us their final decision. It was the familiarity and previous experience of Kalmar machines that made our drivers go for these trucks. Using trucks they are familiar with means our drivers won’t be compromising on their safety.

“The control systems are also very high quality, with a smaller turning circle, making the trucks easier and better suited to use in the heavy-duty environments that we have, which Kalmar machines are particularly designed for.”
