ABP spends more than GBP2 million (USD 2.43 million) on increase the number of electric forklifts in its fleet. Ten more electric forklifts will be shipped to the Humber Port will be available for public use later this year. The investment also covers the installation of the vehicle charging stations and storage shelters.
"ABP Humber has ambitious intentions to supply its port operations with renewable energy," said Simon Bird, director of Humber. Saving money on rising energy costs not only benefits our business, but it also allows us to develop sustainable supply chains for many of the our customers without sacrificing effectiveness and above all safety.
The integrated reversing camera on the new electric forklifts helps terminal workers move safely backwards, and the overhead guards are made to provide high visibility in all directions.
Immingham Fertilizer Terminal and Immingham Bulk Park work closely together to deliver fertilizer for the agricultural sector. To ensure landowners get exactly what they need maintain the health of their soil, which in turn promotes healthy crops, include the two terminals bagging and blending operations. Before the goods travel further, they are stored safely and safely use the electric forklifts.
