Ministry of Defence orders 360 heavy-duty pallet trucks
Midland Pallet Trucks will supply the models tailored to stringent MoD specifications to defence sites across the UK.
THE PALLET trucks, each with a 2.5-tonne load capacity, are designed to handle the demands of tough industrial environments, and will support operational efficiency across various military facilities. Built with durability and performance in mind, they offer low-maintenance reliability – critical for fast-paced, high-pressure settings like those operated by the MoD.
The scale of the order has seen multiple articulated lorries loaded at Midland Pallet Trucks’ distribution hub, with the first two trucks already en route and twenty more to follow. Each truck had to meet strict technical requirements, down to the precise fork width, roller composition, and pallet compatibility.
Midland Pallet Trucks managing director Phil Chesworth, says: “From the initial consultation to the final dispatch, this order required a huge team effort and close attention to detail. We’re immensely proud of everyone involved, from those in the warehouse building the trucks, to the staff coordinating transport, to those making sure even the smallest specifications were met.”
