New depot gives transport firm a 'LIFT'
The success of Midlands transport company LIFT, which is part of the PalletFORCE palletised distribution network, has been underlined by a move to a new 2¼ acre site in Burton-on-Trent.
LIFT, also known as Lichfield International Freight Terminal, was previously based on farmland in the village of Alrewas but the company had outgrown the premises following a consistently strong performance.
The new site is located in an industrial estate in Burton, providing improved access and logistics links to major roads. The depot comprises a 35,000 sq ft warehouse and 2,500 sq ft of offices.
“The move has basically made our operation much easier,” confirms Ron Rowe of LIFT. “Greater yard space enables us to use more forklifts and therefore improved speed and efficiency.
“We feel that the Burton Depot is the ideal base from which to grow the business further,” he adds.
LIFT has been a Member Depot of PalletFORCE since the Network’s launch in 2001, and covers the DE and WS postcodes.
