Safety and savings

For those working as fork lift truck operators, safety is paramount; this, combined with competitive running costs, will ensure a workforce that is positive, a workload that is manageable and a business that is successful.

This is the case for one fork lift operator based in South Yorkshire; having suffered from running out of fuel, regular price hikes and no reductions, he decided that enough was enough and it was time for a change.

A local supplier offered him a monthly price linked to average refinery prices; in essence, this has resulted in savings of more than £10,000 per year.

That’s a pretty hefty sum, even for a forklift that uses annual fuel usage of 110,000 litres!
