Fully compliant fleet…
We are proud to confirm that our fleet is now all Euro 6 emission standard. This means we can travel in the new clean air zones as well as the London LEZ.
We have recently achieved a fully direct vision standard fleet. This means all our vehicles can travel in London. This is complemented by being FORS Silver operator.
Euroliner offers additional offloading options
To add to the options available we operate Euroliner trailers in addition to curtainsider and flatbed trailers. These are basically a curtainsider with a retractable roof. This allows them to operate as a curtainsider or allows freight to offloaded via crane through the roof. This means freight that cannot be delivered on a flat trailer can still be offloaded via a crane. This reduces possible damage and increases site safety due to the additional side supports.
FORS Silver Achieved
We are please to announce that we have recently achieved the FORS silver standard. This has taken a year of planning, additional vehicles and equipment added to the fleet and extensive driver training. This has meant that all drivers have undertaken not only Safe Urban driving courses, but also e-learning modules highlighting cycle safety. All trucks have been fitted with nearside cameras and audio warning devices and we now under take additional demonstrative tasks such as recording co2, NOx and PM levels.
This has not only assisted with existing customers requiring deliveries to FORS sites, but also assures all of our customers that they are using a company with a philosophy for compliance, safety and operational efficiency. We also believe that achieving FORS silver will also open new opportunities to us.
Drivers complete Safe Urban Driver course
All of our drivers have recently completed the FORS Safe Urban Driving Course. This involves drivers swapping places with Cyclists for 3 hours to give them a better understanding of the problems that cyclists have with HGV’s. This hopefully reduces the chances of incidents involving cyclists and HGV’s. Luckily a number of our staff are already regular cyclists. This is also an important part of planned progression to FORS Silver.
New operating centre offers many benefits
Due to the 
expansion of our vehicle fleet, we have recently relocated to a new operating centre. Located ideally on the side of the A31 at St Leonards, which is Dorset’s main truck road for going either north or east. The site which has security cameras, is fully fenced and has 24hrs security. It also offers us the option of expanding to customers needs.
