The results
The four FLTs in the packhouse have contributed to a reduction in dust and fumes and have successfully met the company’s need for a fleet than can be available 24 hours a day at peak times. Fuel supplies for the LPG-powered FLTs has proved completely reliable and hassle-free thanks to our in-house forecasting technology. As Mr Horsfield puts it: “I don’t have to monitor the tank… It doesn’t worry me, because we’ve not had a problem… I don’t want to know!”
And the final vote of confidence? Expansion of the LPG fleet will be under consideration, says Mr Horsfield, “when we come to change trucks again… swapping some of the harder-working diesel trucks for LPG ones.”
