May 29, 2008 - Briggs Equipment UK, the UK’s sole Cat® Lift Truck distributor and national materials handling service provider, will be revealing its latest innovation in service delivery at the Royal Norfolk Show in Norwich. Briggs Equipment has established a new national service division dedicated to servicing and the statutory requirements of Vehicle Mounted Lifting Equipment especially tail lifts.
To meet the specialist service needs of this market, Briggs has designed a unique, extended wheel-base van with an on-board crane and hoist mechanism, a 4 ton pay load and 2 ton of test weights. A remote unit controls the lifting and placement of the weights, which means that the weight tests can be conducted more safely in less time, and with a greater degree of accuracy to meet LOLER regulations for Thorough Examination and weight testing. One of these new vans will be being demonstrated on Briggs’ stand* at the show.
Sally Baker, marketing manager at Briggs Equipment, says: “Briggs Equipment is first to market with this dedicated service, which has been developed after listening closely to our customers. The service is a national solution, tailor-made to help them meet more onerous operating regulations and increasing safety legislation. We want to showcase the innovative technology used in the vans to bring this service to life on our stand.”
In addition, the company will be showcasing its range of new and used Cat® warehouse equipment and diesel and electric forklift trucks. As well as having a hands-on opportunity to experience the reliability and power of Cat trucks, visitors at the show will benefit from some limited availability deals on quality used Cat trucks.
* Briggs Equipment is located at stand number 417b during the Royal Norfolk Show at the Norwich Showground on 25th and 26th June 2008.
