Pallet Trucks UK are offering a fantastic range of galvanized and stainless steel pallet trucks to businesses at very competitive prices, as it is revealed that the pharmaceutical industry has been the one to show the most resilience against the recession. After the economic downturn six years ago in 2008, many industrial subsectors went into terminal decline, with manufacturing, construction and mining being hit severely. Pharmaceuticals actually experienced sustained growth throughout the crisis, and Pallet Trucks UK are urging all those within the sector to reward themselves for their efforts with investment in a new round of trucks and equipment.

Pallet Trucks UK is one of the leading UK providers of pallet trucks and manual handling equipment, and their range of galvanized and stainless steel pallet trucks are perfect for use in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Incredibly hardwearing, durable and functional, the trucks are available at competitive prices from Pallet Trucks UK as businesses in the industry look to invest after a hard six years of beating the recession.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, says, “Our range of galvanized and stainless steel pallet trucks are absolutely perfect for use in pharmaceuticals, where large quantities of incredibly precious chemicals, instruments, equipment and compounds need to be transported with great care. They are robust and durable, and they are the perfect way to reinvest profits after a number of successful years, bringing about further enhancements to the workplace and allowing operations to flow much faster.

There has been some great news for business owners this week, and especially those in industrial and manufacturing sectors, as the 2014 Budget saw the announcement of tax breaks designed to help businesses purchase new equipment. The new rules were at the centre of the government’s financial plans, which are aimed to significantly improve the UK’s declining success in selling goods to the overseas market.

Pallet Trucks UK is one of the manual handling equipment providers that will be leading the way in assisting businesses by providing fantastic machinery and hand-operated equipment, now at more affordable prices than ever thanks to a range of tax cuts and investment allowances from the government.

A twofold increase in the tax-free annual investment allowance will offer a great boost to businesses, bringing the limit to £500,000 and encouraging more of them to invest in good-quality, reliable machinery and equipment to help the growth and sustained efficiency of a business. Businesses will improve their ability to conduct foreign trade, and will be able to serve a broader range of more domestic clients. With emerging economies like Brazil, India and China, the potential for foreign trade is bigger than ever, and the government are giving the British economy the boost it needs to win these valuable overseas contracts.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, a leading supplier of hand pallet trucks, lift tables, aerial work platforms and other manual handling apparatus, says, “It’s fantastic news that the government has increased this tax-free allowance to encourage investment, especially when it comes to the equipment used across the UK. Now more businesses will be better equipped to handle not only their incoming orders from Britain, but will also be in a prime position to win lucrative foreign contracts in some of the world’s burgeoning economies.

 Pallet Trucks UK, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of pallet trucks and other manual handling apparatus, is leading the calls for all businesses to be prepared for any eventuality by investing in spare parts and accessories that could save them in case of an emergency.

 With all of the heavy lifting and transporting huge loads, day in, day out, even the most robust pallet trucks can require some additional maintenance and part replacement – but if you don’t have the parts on-site ready to fit in case of a broken or malfunctioning pallet truck, businesses face days of decreased productivity while they wait for a replacement part or truck to arrive. Pallet Trucks UK are urging all businesses to ensure they have an adequate stockpile of spare parts and truck accessories that will ensure, even if the unlikely event of a truck failure, they will be able to continue operations after a brief break to fit the replacement part,

 Phil Chesworth, of Pallet Trucks UK, strongly advocates having an extensive array of wheels, chocks and other accessories, just in case. He says, “We already know that pallet trucks and many of the other forms of manual handling equipment that we stock are incredibly robust and hardwearing. But with the amount of work they carry out on a daily basis, it is expected that eventually they will need some maintenance. A wheel might fail, a handle might need replacing, and we often find that businesses have been caught out by not stocking up on these crucial spare parts.

The appetite for investment in the manufacturing industry is growing rapidly, and Pallet Trucks UK are waiting in the wings to offer many companies all over the country the high-quality equipment and apparatus they need to get their business back on the road to success. A barometer survey by the Guardian, which polled 864 SMEs in manufacturing, found that 85% of companies were planning to spend on capital equipment in the next year, with the average spend ranking at £121,000 per manufacturer.

Though the response to more investment is lukewarm at the moment, many experts are predicting if sales continue to increase as they have for the last fifteen months, confidence will return to the market and manufacturing companies will be more likely to invest. Pallet Trucks UK are one of the country’s leading suppliers of pallet trucks and other manual handling equipment that is vital to the manufacturing industry, and the news is not unexpected for the team there, who have tracked the sector closely through recession and subsequent recovery.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, says, “We have seen various different trends emerge during the recession and the months after it, and now we can confidently say that there has been a surge in the number of businesses in the manufacturing industry that are investing in new equipment. Whether the desire is to buy new products that will help improve quality and efficiency, or whether a business is trying to increase the volume of goods they can produce and deliver, the recovering economy is giving businesses a reason to invest for the first time in half a decade, and we are ready and waiting for new businesses that want to browse our products and invest in our high-quality range.

Renowned for its fantastic range of lifting equipment, Pallet Trucks UK is a company well versed in providing manual handling solutions to a multitude of businesses. Now the Midlands-based company is urging businesses to ask themselves a question: do you need to utilise semi-electric trucks?

While many businesses opt for manually operated trucks like hand pallet trucks and sack trucks, the increasing pressure across various industries to fulfil orders and carry out tasks quickly is seeing many turn to electrical power to speed up their operations. Pallet Trucks UK has a selection of two sturdy semi-electric high-lift pallet trucks that can help save time, money and ensure employee safety across the entire workplace – a no-brainer for businesses across the country.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, says, “Manual hand pallet trucks are highly versatile and very useful, but sometimes workplaces need a little extra power on their side. The semi-electric high-lift trucks we have on offer at Pallet Trucks UK are a prime example of a piece of apparatus speeding up processes and ensuring boosting productivity for employees on factory floors or on production lines. As with all of our products here at Pallet Trucks UK, quality is assured, and we’ve seen these units totally revolutionise the working processes of many workplaces across the UK.

New Year will be upon is faster than you can say ‘Auld Lang Syne’ – and businesses across the UK will be hunting for great deals on equipment, resources and tools that will help them to maximise their profits in 2015. Pallet Trucks UK is a leading supplier of pallet trucks and manual handling equipment to businesses across the UK, and its wide collection of featured products represent wonderful bargains and savings on some of the most high-quality models available on the market.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, says, “With bank balances booming after the Christmas rush, New Year is a great time for businesses to stock up on new equipment, ready for the year ahead. At Pallet Trucks UK, we offer a comprehensive collection of pallet trucks, manual stackers, high-lift pallet trucks and aerial work platforms, all competitively priced – and we’re encouraging businesses to snap up a bargain to kick-start 2015 and make sure they enjoy a productive year.

Pallet Trucks UK have announced the addition of two new trucks to their existing range of manual handling equipment – enhancing their position as one of the UK’s top suppliers of pallet trucks. The two brand new ‘easy roller’ pallet trucks are set to offer increased variety for businesses in need of a manual handling solution which balances productivity with safety, and are sure to be a hit in warehouses, factories, distribution centres and other industrial settings across the country.

The two models cleverly incorporate a foot lever, which can drive the truck forwards and make life easier for operators. The traditional pump action of the handle is used to rotate and drive the rear wheels of the truck, massively reducing the initial force needed to make the pallet truck move. Starting the movement of a very heavy load can be tough for those operating a fully-loaded pallet truck – too little force gets them nowhere, but too much force can see accidents when trucks become out of control. The brand new trucks make it easier to kick-start the initial movement, reducing the risk of accidents and boosting control for the operator.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, says, “We scour the world in order to find the best quality pallet trucks for sale to our customers, not least with the addition of our ERA25-A and ERA25-B trucks. Prioritising operator health and safety without compromising on productivity, the trucks are an excellent addition to our ever-growing collection. We can now confidently say that we have a stock of pallet trucks to rival anyone in the country, and we’re one of the prime destinations for buyers looking to expand their fleet.

Pallet Trucks UK’s range of galvanized and stainless steel pallet trucks are set to be in high demand throughout 2015 – especially in the pharmaceuticals industry, where it’s been predicted that the coming year will be another year of huge growth.

Approvals of new drugs soared to record levels in 2014, and many experts believe that 2015 will smash yet more records. For pharmaceutical environments, where cleanliness and sterility is crucial, galvanized and stainless steel pallet trucks are an excellent solution – and Pallet Trucks UK has a comprehensive range to choose from. Incredibly hardwearing and durable, the trucks can withstand freezing temperatures and the kind of harsh chemicals which are used to sterilise equipment, making them the perfect choice for pharmaceutical plants and other medical facilities.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, says, “Stainless steel and galvanized hand pallet trucks are renowned for their ability to withstand almost anything without so much as a scratch. From abrasive cleaning products to freezing or incredibly hot temperatures, the trucks can hard as nails, and are the ideal for use in environments where they’ll undergo daily deep-cleans and intensive wash-downs.

Pallet Trucks UK is a leader in providing manual handling equipment to businesses all over the country, and it’s once more proven it’s the go-to provider for all things ‘pallet trucks’, with a comprehensive range of mini trucks that are ideal for those with smaller lifting needs.

The smaller trucks have been specifically designed for businesses that may not have a need for a full-sized pallet truck. Van drivers, businesses which offer call-out services, and even construction sites with particularly tight corners have all made use of the trucks, which have all the durability of the larger models.

Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, says, “Our great range of mini pallet trucks is ideal for those who can’t quite justify buying a full-sized truck, or perhaps for the business that specifically needs an agile, nippy truck to complement their existing fleet. At Pallet Trucks UK, we strive to ensure we cater to everyone – and our collection of mini pallet trucks is testament to that commitment.
