To complement the existing fleet currently on hire at the Caterham F1 team’s site in Leafield, Oxfordshire, Linde Material Handling (UK) has recently delivered an Approved Used Truck to help with the manoeuvre of epoxy moulds used to produce carbon fibre composite panels.
In December 2012, Linde became the official materials handling supplier for Caterham F1 team, supplying three engine counterbalance trucks, which are used to load over 25 tonnes of equipment onto air freight containers which transport the F1 kit by air to Grand Prix competitions across the world including Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, India, Brazil and Texas.
The pallet stacker now on site at Caterham is used to move heavy brittle moulds on the shop floor of the composite department. A site visit from Linde’s Used Equipment Manager, Matt Dearman, identified the specific type of truck to suit with the application. The application demanded a truck with a low lift height, built in charger and excellent manoeuvrability.
Matt Dearman was able to locate a suitable machine from Linde’s extensive used equipment stock, a pallet stacker, L 10, with a capacity of one tonne. The truck was refurbished at Linde’s dedicated Used Equipment Centre in the South to meet Caterham’s needs.
Richard St Clair Quentin, Commercial Manager at Caterham F1 team, commented: “This particular application requires an agile, precise piece of equipment. Matt recommended the L 10 which has been used every day now and is proving to be an invaluable member of our team.”
Linde Approved trucks offer quality that can be relied on at a price that represents the best value for money. Linde Approved workshop facilities mean that truck specifications can be matched to specific needs and the vast range of equipment available ensures that a truck can be delivered at short notice.
