Case Study

Investing in and utilising appropriate tools and equipment can totally transform how companies do business. Not only can procedures be massively enhanced, but the use of resources, company productivity, and efficiency can be greatly improved too.

This is true for national logistics and warehousing firm, Lombard Shipping PLC. Priding themselves on their continued investment in infrastructure teamed with an innovative, forward-thinking approach, they’re continually keen to review and evaluate how they do business. And how they can do business better.

Earlier this year, they sought the support of Contact Attachments when looking to add a brand-new product to their workforce. Understanding that arming themselves with purpose-built resources will allow them to become more resourceful while continuing to deliver the highest quality service to their customers, they purchased a Forklift Car Mover, which is designed for lifting and moving vehicles via a forklift truck.

Simon Gooch, Compliance and Transport Manager at Lombard Shipping said: “Recently, one of our clients required our support with importing cars into the UK. Arriving in 40ft shipping containers means that specialist equipment is a must to safely, securely and swiftly unload the vehicles and place them into a suitable storage location. 

“We came across the Forklift Car Mover from Contact Attachments, which is unlike anything we’ve possessed previously. Purchasing this item has saved us both time and money, as now just one person is able to appropriately unload and store the cars, without risk of damage to the vehicle all while upholding the highest health and safety standards. In turn it’s enhanced productivity, and allows us to continue delivering the very best service to our customers.”

With the front wheel of the vehicle securely gripped, the Forklift Car Mover attachment uses two articulating arms to effortlessly and safely lift a car without causing any damage.

Jason Cadman, Marketing Manager at Contact Attachment added: “It’s always such a pleasure to work with new companies and to help them find solutions to enhance overall business efficiency and productivity.

“As a driver isn’t required to control the car, this attachment gifts businesses the ability to manoeuvre independently, allowing for greater use of time and resources. Plus, without needing space to open and close the doors, more cars can be stored or shipped together, which can aid profitability and reduce carbon footprint – both of which are hugely important and valuable to businesses, now more than ever.”
