UK south cost port of Shoreham has boosted its timber handling capacity with eight new Hyster Fortens H5.5FT diesel forklift trucks, featuring a high lift capacity and a small chassis with a 600mm load centre.

In addition to the eight trucks, which replaced some of the port’s older units, Hyster distributor Barloworld Handling has supplied Sussex Port Forwarding with an overall fleet of 20 machines to handle approximately 60-70 lorry movements a day.
