Electric forklifts and warehouse equipment for Coleraine
Coleraine's biggest movers of pallets are its food and manufacturing firms. Lynas Foodservice runs its headquarters operation at Loughanhill and moves around 12 million boxes a year, and a new £10m surface finishing factory has been approved at Wattstown Business Park.
Frozen, chilled and ambient stores need trucks that start reliably in the cold, and lithium-ion batteries hold their charge far better than lead-acid there. We supply EP trucks to buy or on contract hire, with LOLER thorough examinations and servicing from our mobile engineers.
