Junction 4 Pallets has bought two new Linde Evo H20 forklifts to add to its fleet. These trucks sustainably improve operational efficiency and delivery times for customers. Forklift trucks are used by J4 to handle materials and load trailers on site.
Craig Bushby, J4’s Environmental Guidance and Development Lead, explained that the move to upgrade forklifts was part of J4’s ongoing sustainability drive:
“As part of our initiatives towards improved safety and sustainability, the business has invested heavily, over the past years, in environmental developments. We have fitted solar panels on to our main production facility in Doncaster, generating clean energy to power manufacturing equipment within the production process. The latest Linde forklift trucks use hydrostatic drives, which typically generate 40 to 50% more hydraulic fluid power than standard forklift trucks. Another significant benefit of switching to Linde trucks is the Linde Connect app. Devices are fitted on to the trucks and the app allows us to track how economically they’re being driven. We can track the number of lifts to complete a job so it becomes a more intelligent model, where you can make decisions based on data, not guesswork. This allows us to deliver to customers efficiently.”
Not only are the new Linde Evo H20 forklifts more environmentally friendly, but Bushby says that they are also safer for employees to use. “Their enhanced LED lighting means we can continue to operate safely outside of daylight hours, as we respond to customer requests for evening and nighttime deliveries, reducing daytime congestion in our 24-hour, multi-site operation.”
Linde Material Handling area account manager for Doncaster, Jay Dixon, adds: “Linde and I have worked in partnership with Junction 4 Pallets for several years and in this time, we have collaborated extremely well. Having spent time with the J4 site team, we gained mass amounts of information which gave us a true understanding of how Junction 4 Pallets work. We offered a bespoke solution, tailored to meet the needs of J4’s current demands and future growth plans, which are well underway!”
