World leading forklift truck and warehouse equipment manufacturer, Linde, has opened a dedicated refurbishment centre for used forklift trucks at its operation in Bristol. This new facility will service Southern England and the South Wales area.

Employing four specialist engineers, this new centre will be responsible for the annual refurbishment of over 250 used trucks.

Mark Sullivan, head of used and rental at Linde’s head office in Basingstoke said:

“As companies come under increasing pressure to streamline operations and cut costs, we are seeing a growing trend in the number of our customers looking to invest in mixed fleets, of new and used forklift trucks, in order to maximise their return on investment. Linde approved used equipment offers an excellent, cost-effective alternative to brand new. It is the risk-free way to acquire reliable, high-performance equipment backed by the leading UK brand. And our new dedicated refurbishment facility will help us meet growing customer demand for used trucks across the area.”

Linde approved only uses trucks that have been fully serviced from new by its national network to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Linde offers a wide choice of used trucks complete with individual service histories, and only genuine Linde parts are fitted during the refurbishment process. A LOLER/PUWER certificate is provided with every truck and the equipment is fully warranted.

Three grades of Linde approved trucks are available, designed to suit individual budgetary and application requirements, while factory-trained, local service engineers from its national network companies offer comprehensive after-sales support to ensure maximum uptime.
