The brief

This project is to replace 1 existing hire vehicle currently used by Highways team with a new vehicle more specific to the needs of the service.

This will also remove the reliance on the rental of a forklift truck for Housing Stores.

The Highways team require the use of a 2.5t Counterbalance forklift truck equipped with a block grab attachment to unload / load deliveries of materials required for repairs to the Highway infrastructure in the city and surrounding areas.

Highways receive large volumes of materials from suppliers, materials within these deliveries can weigh up to 2 ton, hence the need for a forklift truck with capabilities to unload these materials.
