Simarco renews long-term relationship with Mitsubishi GRENDiA forklifts
What was the challenge?
Simarco needed highly reliable forklifts to support intensive 24/6 operations without backup trucks.
Why this product(s)?
The GRENDiAs had been a great success at the site already due to their excellent performance and rock-solid reliability.
What was the outcome?
Both the operators and the operation have been able to thrive with minimal disruption due to familiarity with the GRENDiA trucks.
A proven performer at a growing business
At its Essex facility, Simarco’s forklifts operate 24 hours a day, six days a week in highly demanding conditions. With no backup trucks available, Simarco needed equipment it could trust completely to avoid downtime and protect throughput at its high-volume 30,000m² site.
We’ve used Mitsubishi GRENDiA trucks for years and they’ve never let us down. They’re incredibly reliable — which is vital because we don’t have a backup truck waiting to be used. If the GRENDiA breaks down or stops performing, our operation comes to a halt.
A successful 12-year partnership
Simarco recently added 10 more GRENDiA ES LPG forklifts — the third fleet refresh since 2013. Their sealed chassis and engine protection systems make them ideal for Simarco’s tough environment, combining reliability with long-term performance.
Because they have been using similar models for 12 years, the operators are able to switch over to the new trucks with minimal effort.
Given their hectic schedule, Simarco’s trucks have to be up to scratch. We’ve built a strong relationship over the years, and we’re proud to continue supporting them as they grow. Over the years, we’ve seen the business grow and it’s great that we can continue to assist the team with their ongoing requirements. With our close working relationship, we’re always available to react to any changes they need — now, and in the future.
Built to handle the pressure
The long-standing relationship continues to deliver value. GRENDiA forklifts give Simarco the reliability and durability they need, and when rare issues arise, the local distributor provides fast, effective support to minimise disruption.
The support and service are always excellent — and that’s crucial. With such a busy, intensive operation, any lost time will really hit us. But on the rare occasion we have an issue, they always respond to callouts or questions very swiftly. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as a preferred supplier for materials handling equipment.
