Moody Logistics has spent £30,000 on tail lift safety mechanisms and replaced 17 hand operated pump action warehouse pallet trucks with electric versions to make workloads easier and safer.
The investment followed a review of its freight management procedures and involved sister firm Heathline Commercials installing the tail lift protection systems, including rear door retaining arms and a retractable strap which acts as a safety barrier.
Moody Logistics has also issued its drivers with updated safety procedures, which includes the use of additional ratchet straps to ensure pallets remain secure and pose no risk during the loading and unloading process.
