Fab Fact Friday

It ain’ t heavy!

Here at Minoli we move a lot of tiles – all day – every day (apart from Sunday – we have a little rest on a Sunday).

To move the tiles around on pallets and for the XL material in crates, we have a variety of different forklift trucks, all supplied by Linde.

Minoli started to work with Linde in the early 1980’s. Jonathon Minoli – our MD recalls a trip with his father (Peter) after he finished school one evening to a company located in Bicester, Oxfordshire called MEL Handling. This company was the local dealer for the Linde brand and Peter saw the potential of these very neat powerful forklift trucks.

Since then, that first purchase of a “E” series counter balance, Minoli has always used Linde forklifts exclusively. The extensive fleet now consists of a variety of machinery including heavy duty road going trucks for off-loading containers, reach trucks for use in the high bay warehouses, V1 picking trucks (or Daleks as they are affectionately known) and of course the latest generation of the “E” series, which are used for general duties including loading and unloading the Minoli delivery fleet.   

These machine really do take the brunt of the workload – never missing a beat – reliable and dependable.

Man’s best friend is supposed to be a dog, but for a warehouseman @Minoli the best friend is a Linde V10 – Dalek!
