A COMPANY providing loading bay equipment for warehouses and depots has taken delivery of a new fleet of vans.

Kirkburton-based Easilift Loading Systems has invested more than £250,000 in 15 Vauxhall Vivaro panel vans.

The vehicles will be used by the company's growing number of service and installation engineers who work at customer sites throughout the country.

Thirteen of the diesel vans are replacements and two are for use by new engineers.

The vans, like the vehicles they replace, were supplied by main Vauxhall distributor Pentagon Vauxhall of Savile Street, Sheffield.

Easilift managing director Phil Dinning said: "We needed the new panel vans because sales right across our product range have increased steadily as customers continue to build new warehouse and distribution centres, as well as refurbishing existing premises."

Easilift, part of Loading Systems International Group, provides equipment including dock levellers, shelters, seals, pods, industrial doors and lifting platforms, plus an range of accessories and safety aids.
