DP World invests in seven new forklifts

DP World Cargo Services has put its money where its mouth is in terms of port handling equipment investment and purchased seven new forklifts ranging from four to 25-tonners. “Despite the current uncertainty in the market – along with the downward trend in global trade – DPWCS felt it was the perfect time for the acquisition of its new forklifts to complement the current fleet,” GM for the Africa region, Ian Hall, told FTW. “In the current market it is even more important to service clients quickly and efficiently to expedite the quick turnaround of vessels,” he added.
