Chadwick Forklifts

Sustainability is another priority high on Chadwick Forklifts’ list. From eliminating paper by installing a highly electronic system to the close management of water consumption and waste products, the company has shown environmental best practice in all areas of their operation. They have set up multiple providers to assist them in recycling waste wherever possible, and where disposal is necessary, Mr. Chadwick explains that it is of the upmost importance to the company that everything is done in an environmentally friendly way. Chadwick Forklifts also supports green energy by focussing on battery and electric assets, as opposed to running a largely LPG or diesel-fuelled fleet. The company is particularly excited about the recent boom in lithium battery technology, Mr. Chadwick says. “Technology is going to change the industry a lot over the next decade. Previously in a lot all policies are documented in detail, including employee conduct, operations procedures, health and safety protocol, regulations compliance, and environmental statements. Mr. Mathias goes on to explain that Chadwick Forklifts delivers on their promise to support customers. “Many companies will say that they are customer- focussed, but we make it our priority and make sure our clients have hard proof that we will actually do what we say. Our main concern is to find a solution for the customer. That’s what it all comes down to.” A recent example of Chadwick Forklifts’ dedication to customer care is their investment in specific machines that were not originally stocked in their fleet. Committing to a 150 thousand dollar investment for a single client to match their requirements in the long term is not something many rental companies would do, Mathias says.
