contract in Palmerston North
Sulo Talbot manufactures a variety of waste and recycling
containers including Mobile Garbage Bins (MGBs) for the local New
Zealand market.
When Sulo Talbot was awarded the contract to supply and
deliver wheelie bins for the Christchurch City Council the
company needed to act quickly and efficiently. Manufacturing
and.delivering over 450,000 wheelie bins to Christchurch houeholds
within nine months presented a great challenge!
Sulo Talbot approached TR soon after to discuss and plan the
most efficient method of distribution. Understanding exactly what
the job involved - and then delivering - were key to the
successful vehicle rental solution agreed to between TR and
Sulo Talbot.
Commenting on the solution and project outcome, Sulo Talbot's
Business Development Manager, Karen Murray, said
"Reliable transport plays a critical role in delivering
our bin distribution projects on time - and TR Group can be relied
upon to deliver what they promise."
The Sulo Talbot Challenge
Challenge (brief by Sulo Talbot to TR
Group)
Sulo Talbot Limited had won the contract to supply and deliver
all the wheelie bins for the Christchurch City Council.
Over 450,000 wheelie bins had to be delivered safely and
efficiently to all Christchurch households within a nine-month time
frame.
Solution (presented to Sulo Talbot by TR
Group)
Sulo Talbot initially considered using small flat-deck
trucks. Looking at the project, TR Group suggested 5-tonne
curtain-side trucks would best the requirements of the job.
TR Group believed the advantages of the 5-tonne curtain-side
trucks were:
- Reduced number of trucks required
- Maximised load space
- Decreased number of trips
- Curtain-sided trucks provided a covered workspace to assemble
the wheelie bins
