Sunbelt Rentals enhances fleet with investment in 15 Hyster H16XD6 Forklifts

As the industry continues to evolve, so do the expectations for equipment reliability, efficiency, and safety. At Sunbelt Rentals, safety remains our number one priority and we understand the importance of investing in solutions to meet these advancing requirements.

The decision to partner with Briggs Equipment and Hyster Europe is based on these suppliers’ reputation for offering high-quality, durable and dependable equipment. This partnership guarantees that customers, partners and colleagues have access to the latest and safest technology available. These heavy-duty forklifts have a strong framework and offer an increased litre capacity, resulting in reduced downtime and additional safety. Additionally, they have incorporated features specifically designed to enhance operator comfort while using the equipment, demonstrating the dedication to well-being of operators.

Ian Needham, Director of Accommodation at Sunbelt Rentals said: “We are thrilled about the addition of fifteen H16XD6 lift trucks. 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. This partnership with Briggs and Hyster perfectly aligns with our ever-growing and evolving Accommodation offering, positioning us for continued success in the future.”

The Key Account Manager, Corinna Davies, at Briggs Equipment, the trusted distributor supporting this investment commented on it: “We are delighted to have completed the delivery of this new fleet of Hyster Big Trucks to Sunbelt Rentals. We have been through an extensive process to ensure that the equipment meets Sunbelt Rentals’ requirements to support their customers and colleagues both today and in the future.

“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.

“We are looking forward to working closely with the Sunbelt Rentals team to ensure they get the most out of their new equipment.”

Drew Reeves, Head of Major accounts at Hyster Europe, commented on the partnership: “Hyster has a long history in providing tough and reliable equipment for high intensity container handling applications, and we understand that moving accommodation containers comes with specific demands. That combined with the expertise of Briggs Equipment led the customer to the Hyster H16XD6 as a great fit for their particular application.

“The new forklifts also include a three-stage mast and can handle the welfare units on the forks, without the need for any special attachments.”
