Sunbelt adds forks

9 January 2024

Sunbelt Rentals UK and Ireland’s accommodation business unit has added fifteen Hyster H16XD6 Stage V compliant forklifts sourced from distributor, Briggs Equipment. 

Designed for power and durability, the machines incorporate features to enhance operator comfort. 

Ian Needham, Director of Accommodation at Sunbelt Rentals said: “The decision to partner with Briggs Equipment and Hyster was carefully considered, taking into account their excellent safety and reliability track records, as well as their dedication to providing comfortable equipment for operators."

Corinna Davies, Key Account Manager at Briggs Equipment, commented: “The specialist container handlers are manufactured by Hyster and feature the latest technology and ergonomic features to ensure a more comfortable, safe and productive working environment for operators. 

“The trucks are also Stage V compliant to meet industry regulations and support Sunbelt Rentals' strategic objectives to invest in green technology that reduces harmful emissions."

Drew Reeves, Head of Major accounts at Hyster Europe, added that the new forklifts include a three-stage mast and can handle welfare units without the need for special attachments."
