Empty miles is lost money - When using a Hookloader or skiploader the collection lorry travels with an empty skip to the collection point. Collects the full skip and returns to the main depot. That means up to 50% of the miles travelled the Hookloader or Skip lorry is empty which is inefficient both in time and fuel. Improved Efficiency - Using a Palfinger truck mounted forklift the collection vehicle can collect many different containers from many different collection points before the vehicle needs to return to the main depot to empty it’s load. This results in fewer miles travelled empty making the operation more efficient both in fuel and time as well as reducing congestion on the roads. |
