20th August 2007 - Operational Investment at Pallet-Track
Pallet-Track the UK’s fastest growing overnight pallet network is pleased to announce major investment of over £300,000 into its operation.
The company has just taken delivery of six H20 Linde trucks with the latest specification available in the market today. Powered by a VW Audi engine the new IC trucks are the quietest yet producing only 72 decibels. The truck is 30% more fuel efficient than its predecessor with enlarged fuel cells providing greater operating hours in the demanding sort operation.
Additionally Pallet Track has also purchased new scales and an automatic shrink wrapping machine in line with introducing a quality controller to oversee the entire night operation. The role of this person will be to check weigh consignments at random, identifying inadequately wrapped goods along with any manifest discrepancy, reporting and setting corrective actions through the head of operations.
The company will also take delivery of 7 new Jungheinrich trucks in two months time.
