Linde Material Handling (UK) has continued its investment into strengthening its forklift truck hire fleet in the UK.

With the recent addition of more than 200 forklifts, two of which are heavy trucks with capacities of 45 tonnes, the investment will further enhance Linde as the largest supplier of short term hire trucks, now totalling circa 10,000 machines across its UK network.

Linde is one of the leading suppliers of short term hire materials handling equipment in the industry, with more than twice the amount of trucks available for hire compared to its nearest competitor.

Mark Sullivan, head of used trucks and short term rental at Linde commented: “The addition of these new trucks, to our already 10,000 strong fleet, ensures that we can provide our customers with a complete range of equipment from a simple hand pallet truck, right through to a container handling truck.

Mark Sullivan from Linde concluded: “Having the largest capability of trucks in the industry means we can react to situations where equipment is required at short notice and deliver a high specification, bespoke solution to meet our customers’ needs, whether they are looking for extra capacity for a week or several months.”
