A collective of specialist materials handling equipment companies have jointly taken an ingenious initiative to combine their resources and form a new national rental business. Headed by Neville Ferguson, the company is called Pallet Truck Rentals Ltd.

The organization will now make available, materials handling equipment such as, Hand Pallet Trucks: Stackers, High Lifters, All Terrain and Weigh Scale trucks on a rental basis - items traditionally only accessible though capital purchase.

The new network will service the entire country from 3 strategically located hire and service centres, situated in the North, Midlands, London and the South. With thousands of units available for immediate despatch, Pallet Truck Rentals offer a unique, unrivalled and uncomplicated solution to short, mid and long-term manual handling equipment requirements.

"By capitalising on the UK's growing trend of renting throughout the retail industry sectors, Pallet Truck Rentals allows customers to concentrate on their key goals leaving the ownership & responsibility of essential logistical products to the specialists," explained Neville.

He continued, "Following the trends in other market segments from mobiles to cars where ownership can be a liability, our customers can now rent their equipment as and when they like, with a fixed monthly outlay and NO MAINTENANCE COSTS.

From pallet trucks to fork trucks - and everything in between, outsourcing your requirements gives maximum equipment uptime for minimum outlay."

With an eye to Health & Safety the easily recognised "Hi-Viz" Pink trucks stand out in more ways than one.

With every truck hired Pallet Truck Rentals will make a donation to the Pink Ribbon Campaign for Breast Cancer.
