Hyster® lift trucks help support the company’s ethos of quality service and fast, efficient response to customers in the construction industry.
More than 100,000 concrete blocks are distributed each week from the site. In a year, Glendinning can produce and distribute up to 7.5 million building blocks to customers and the majority are shifted with just two dirivers and two principle lift trucks
CHALLENGE
Support the company’s ethos of quality service and fast, efficient response to customers in the construction industry.
SOLUTION
Glendinning began utilising Hyster® H8XM6 specially equipped with a double block clamp to remove blocks from the production line, transport them to the yard and stack up to five high. Glendinning also operate a 2003 Hyster® H8.0FT as a backup truck during peak periods. The drivers still like using it even after 15 years.
