WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK

Hannamans have worked closely with me to look at ways of improving safety on site. When we received the new fleet of Forklift trucks they kindly provided us with safety check books for each truck to get us started and to encourage the drivers to care about their safety and to help look after the equipment they have been provided. The Hannaman team are very helpful and easy to work with. They are quick responding and provide an excellent service, I would highly recommend using them.

I just wanted to say thank you for a great service! You really went out of your way for what was a very small job, I appreciate that. The job went really well thanks to your efforts. Please can you pass this on to your team who were all very efficient and a pleasure to deal with? It is so rare these days that companies put themselves out to help and then get it right first time on time, I felt I needed to let you know.

I had to drop you an e-mail after taking delivery of the new truck, what a fantastic piece of kit that is! I’m happy we went with the upgrade on the cab controlled fork positioners, but all of the factory extras such as the fully enclosed cab, front and rear wipers, scales and dual speed mode were a very pleasant surprise for the FLT drivers, I can’t get them out of it! So once again Hannaman have given us what we required and surpassed our expectations. Many thanks for your help and invaluable advice.

Calbee initially approached Hannaman’s requiring racking, industrial floor care and forklifts. Hannamans supplied the short-term rental of a number of forklifts e and whilst some elements of the installation were quite complex, Hannamans always came up with the right solutions. We have continued to place orders for further equipment which included pallet trucks and access platforms. We are delighted to have worked with them and I would fully recommend Hannaman Material Handling to any other prospective business.

Hannamans were able to suggest a number of options one of which included a system of racking and storage shelving incorporating a “man up” turret forklift truck, a system that fully suited our operations and storage needs. On placing the order Hannamans provided us with a temporary loan of an articulated forklift which enabled us to relocate parts of our stock into the new racking allowing us space to move in other areas whilst refurbishment was going on in other parts of the warehouse. I would fully recommend Hannaman Material Handling.
