PLP Lift Trucks

As a manufacturer utilising a wide range machinery, we understand the importance of quality equipment for our customers. That’s why we are proud to supply this Sterling Beavertail to PLP Lift Trucks.

The Sterling Beavertail offers several benefits to PLP Lift Trucks when transporting their forklifts on their Mercedes 26t truck. The body of the Sterling Beavertail has a shallow 12 degree loading angle, with an initial point of impact being only 9 degrees. This makes it easier and safer to load and unload forklifts onto the truck. The double flip ramps also provide added stability during the loading and unloading process.

This particular build has been customised to include a gas bottle holder below the body facilitating safer, easier gas bottle transportation. A 12,000lb electric winch assists safe loading and unloading whilst 300mm crossmember spacing ensures high point loading capability, adequately supporting the deck even whilst loading 3-wheel forklifts.

The specification includes a serrated steel mesh surface on the ramps and slope of the truck to ensure maximum traction when loading, ensuring this can be done safely even in inclement weather conditions. A removable fall arrest system is fitted to protect the operator when on the back of the body and can be safely stowed when not in use. The galvanised finish ensures they have the best protection from corrosion over time.

Whilst strong construction and innovation ensure that the Sterling Beavertail is built to last, Sterling’s commitment to our customers doesn’t end with just providing quality equipment and the Sterling Support team is always ready to assist PLP Lift Trucks in case of any parts or backup needed.

We take pride in the satisfaction of our customers and Laura Edson, the Sales Director of PLP Lift Trucks, can attest to that. She has expressed her satisfaction with the dealings with Sterling, saying:

From the moment we approached the company, the entire experience has been nothing short of excellent. The team’s professionalism and expertise were evident at every stage of the process. Grant not only understood our requirements but also offered valuable insights and suggestions that enhanced the final design – his attention to detail and commitment to delivering a superior product were truly commendable.

The level of customer service we received was exceptional. The attention to detail, precision engineering, and use of premium materials are evident in every aspect of the finished product. It not only meets but exceeds our expectations, and we are confident it will serve us reliably for years to come.

At Sterling, we understand the importance of reliability, safety, and efficiency in equipment transportation. That’s why we ensure that our products are built with these principles in mind. It is this awareness that drives our commitment to providing excellent service and quality equipment which in turn earns us the trust and loyalty of our customers.
