Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK has been crowned Cold Store Equipment Provider of the Year at the prestigious Temperature Controlled Storage & Distribution (TCS&D) Awards 2025.
The annual event, held Tuesday, 9th September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, celebrates the most outstanding achievements across the cold chain sector.
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks was praised for its unwavering commitment to customer support, alongside a comprehensive range of cold-store-ready equipment engineered to perform at temperatures as low as -35°C.
In addition to a diverse product range, Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK’s exceptional service infrastructure was a topic for praise, with average engineer response times of just 3 hours 41 minutes in VOR cases and a 95% first-time fix rate. This level of support ensures unrivalled uptime and confidence for companies operating in the most demanding environments.
The company’s climate-controlled cabins, ergonomic, operator-focused design, and high-efficiency battery systems were also recognised as standout innovations that deliver real-world advantages in energy efficiency, safety and driver wellbeing.
“This award is a fantastic recognition of our commitment to innovation,” said Lee Longbottom of Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK.
“Every feature, or option, every service promise is designed with one goal: making our customers’ work easier, safer, and more productive. To be recognised again - and among such tough competition - is an incredible achievement for the team.”
This marks a continued run of success for Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK, which previously won Cold Store Equipment Provider of the Year in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2024.
“Cold store environments are some of the harshest in the industry,” added Lee. “This award confirms that Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK continues to set the standard - not just for performance and reliability, but for the partnership and support that comes with every truck.”
