Seven Cesab R314 reach trucks are picking goods 24 hours a day, six days a week in the warehouse at ESPO, a local authority purchasing and distribution consortium that supplies a huge range of workplace products, fr-om food, furniture and hardware to stationery and vehicles, to the education sector and other public and private organisations.

When ESPO was experiencing issues with its older reach trucks, they approached Angus Lift Trucks, the Cesab Material Handling dealership covering Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

“Safety is hugely important, as people can be on foot or in trucks in the warehouse and need to cross paths safely. We’re also constantly working to minimise damage to stock. Most of the major manufacturers bid for the contract, but Angus and the Cesab warehouse range came out ahead.”

Neil Tompkins: “The ergonomics of the Cesab reach trucks are good for our drivers, who like driving them, and the range of safety features will help us to manage, and ultimately improve, our operations. We’re also really pleased with the speed of response fr-om the team at Angus, who are usually with us within three hours of any request.”
