New Palletforce Fleet
Date: 19 December 2011
Always keen to stay at the very leading edge of the market place, Jempsons have just invested in six brand new DAF 17 Tonner Curtainsiders to add to it's Tail-lift fleet
The new trucks, in Palletforce's distinctive orange livery will certainly be brightening the roads throughout East Sussex and Kent throughout the coming months
Jempsons Palletforce have also invested in a new Mercedes Sprinter Van to supplement it's already impressive fleet. The van will be used for home deliveries etc. in places where access by a 17 tonner would be difficult
Fallcheck Safety System
Date: 19 April 2011
Jempsons latest batch of trailers, that have just been purchased from Montracon (see links) are equipped with the new FALLCHECK safety system. This system makes it impossible for drivers to fall from the loadbeds of lorries and trailers. In recent years there have been hundreds of fatalities and thousands of injuries throughout the haulage industry (though fortunately none suffered by our drivers) as people fall from load beds of lorries and trailers, so Jempsons saw this opportunity to improve the safety of their staff even further - and they didn't hesitate
JEMPSONS MIDLANDS MOVE TO MELTON
Date: 24 January 2011
As of 24th Jan 2011 Jempsons midlands have moved their offices to Asfordby Buusiness Park, Melton Mowbray.
