Maritime Transport is set to enhance its container handling services across the North West after working with Cooper Specialised Handling to improve its heavy lifting capabilities in Manchester.

The UK's leading container transport company, Maritime has purchased a new SANY empty container handler for its busy Trafford Park operation.

The move reinforces a long-term partnership with Cooper Specialised Handling, SANY's exclusive UK distributor, and follows the introduction of a double box SANY machine at Maritime's Leeds facility in autumn 2016.

Operating the UK's largest container fleet and a network of 27 depots, Maritime specialises in providing road- and rail-based container transport services to global shipping lines, freight forwarders and cargo owners. Getting the materials handling solution right is important if the company is to deliver consistent, quality logistics solutions to its customers.

Paul Heyhoe, Operations Director at Maritime Transport, said: "Our Leeds depot has seen a considerable uplift in productivity since the SANY machine went into service.

"Large volumes of traffic pass through our Manchester terminal on a daily basis so having a robust, reliable container handling capability is essential. This new empty container handler is set to have a major impact on our business development plans in the North West."

Custom painted in Maritime's distinctive livery, the SANY machine has the highest stability and ground clearance of any empty container handler on the market, providing a safe platform even in the most challenging conditions.

Cooper's engineers keep Maritime's heavy handling fleet working at peak performance, liaising with depot managers to minimise disruption to the container handling operation.

Martin Dale, Sales and Customer Support Manager at Cooper Specialised Handling, said: "We're delighted to be supporting Maritime's Trafford Park depot. SANY has a reputation for manufacturing robust equipment that can withstand the toughest challenges and this new empty container handler will help to boost productivity at the terminal."
