- High performance is delivered in the tough, intensive and time sensitive operation at the sector’s only cross-docking hub, by the strong and dependable Hyster forklifts
- Efficiency is enhanced thanks to the Hyster trucks, which are
designed to keep the driver comfortable with easy operation, and
fitted with a scanning system that links back to a sophisticated
tracking system
- Reduced emissions and reduced running costs are achieved and
Pall-Ex’s environmental commitments are supported by Hyster’s
Fortens trucks, powered by CNG, which can be filled in less than 2
minutes, minimising downtime
- Wear and tear costs are reduced thanks to the Hyster Fortens
trucks, which offer an adjustable Auto-Deceleration System (ADS)
that slows the truck when the accelerator pedal is released,
resulting in less brake pedal usage, and the Controlled Power
Reversal feature of the DuraMatch transmission, which allows
even the most aggressive direction changes to be smooth, helping
to increase tyre life by up to 50%
- Tyre life is further increased thanks to the Continental CSEasy
tyres which are proven to last 3 times longer than standard tyres,
with lower rolling resistance, giving greater fuel efficiency
- The fleet is managed by a Fleet Management System, which has
simplified the process of data capture and improved the accuracy
of fleet management reports by accessing live data directly
from the trucks. Daily run time, hourmeter readings, impacts,
maintenance completion, cost of ownership and much more is all
available for analysis, with monthly review meetings
- Scheduled routine maintenance and assistance in the event of
a breakdown are provided by a dedicated engineer resident in
the on-site garage, from Hyster’s local distribution partner, which
helps Pall-Ex to flex at peak times and maintain a 99.8% efficiency
rate for its customers
- Service and life-time costs are kept under control, thanks to the
service provided by Hyster’s local distribution partner and features
such as oil-immersed brakes, which reduce the requirement of
brake maintenance to a minimum
