Pallet distribution specialist Freightroute is a 43 year old family business with nine depots stretching across the UK. Freightroute’s network of depots deliver over 3,000 pallets every day through its fleet of 155 HGVs and 100 trailers. Operating non-stop, six days a week, the business regards its materials handling fleet as essential as its HGV fleet in supporting ongoing growth and meeting ever increasing and changing customer demands.
When Freightroute decided to renew its older forklift fleet, it carried out detailed discussions with several manufacturers. Managing director Gavin Grant says “As well as the need to ensure operators are as comfortable and productive as possible, we wanted to reduce overall equipment lifetime costs and ensure even greater safety. We also face real constraints with our double deck trailers and have to ensure the masts of any forklift trucks do not damage them.”
Hitec Lift Trucks, the Northamptonshire based Cesab dealership, was one of the providers that Freightroute had discussions with. Adam Lantsbery of Hitec says “We worked closely with Freightroute to fully understand their objectives and help them achieve their aims. This helped us to recognise the significant benefits that the Cesab M300 range would bring.”

Easy access is provided on the M325 by a low height and wide step with plenty of room to operate once seated in the cabin. A cushioned seat with lumbar support offers excellent comfort for operators of all sizes.
As with the rest of the M300 range, the Cesab M325 features Cesab’s Intelligent Mast Design (IMD), a series of smart, innovative features that help forklift operators to work more easily and safely and achieve quicker workplace operations.
