APC Overnight has taken delivery of 19 new Linde forklift trucks from Linde Creighton, Birmingham, as a major upgrade to its warehouse management fleet. The new forklift fleet comprises 18 Linde H16Ts and one model H20T. APC Overnight will use the new high-performance, low-emission forklifts at its main UK hub in the midlands and at its Scottish operation in Bellshill, near Glasgow.

We are pleased that Linde Creighton has been able to supply us with these advanced forklift trucks locally. We have a long association with Linde Creighton in Birmingham and we have always received excellent service," said Ivor Skinner, APC Overnight MD.
