FLEET OF SAMUK LIFT TRUCKS CHOSEN BY WRITING INSTRUMENT MANUFACTURER

Writing instrument specialist Hainenko has recently up-graded its fleet of warehouse handling equipment with the acquisition of five new Samuk forklift trucks from local dealer Armill Lift Trucks.

Hainenko manufactures its wide range of products in Italy and Bulgaria prior to shipment to a large warehouse facility in West Thurrock from where they are distributed throughout the UK, mainland Europe and the Middle East on a daily basis.
The company recently took control of its former warehousing partner and one of the first tasks to be undertaken was a complete appraisal of the forklift fleet to ensure it was able to keep pace with an increasingly hectic level of activity.
Following an intensive programme of machine evaluation, Hainenko's logistics manager Ian Mears decided to accept the advice of Armill on the basis of a promised high level of service combined with very attractive costs.

The fleet recommended by Armill was a pair of 2 tonne capacity HE20 4-wheel compact electric forklifts plus a pair of SR14 electric reach trucks - all imported by Samuk Lift Trucks of Toddington in Bedfordshire. These rugged and reliable new trucks from Samuk are very competitively priced, despite the use of high quality components such as state-of-the-art ZAPI high frequency Mosfet programmable controllers coupled to separately excited motors for ultra-smooth operation.
According to Mr. Mears: “We can't fault the new trucks and more importantly we can't fault Armill's service.” In fact, Hainenko have been so impressed with the overall package they have now requested a fifth machine, this time a 3-wheel HJ15 model with a 1.5 tonne lift capacity.
