Supporting Timber Manufacturing Across the UK
Fork Truck Direct has supplied two new HELI CPD35 G2 Li-M Lithium Counterbalance Forklift Trucks to Harlow Timber Systems, with one delivered to their Coalville, Leicestershire facility and the second to their Kettering, Northamptonshire operation.
As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of engineered timber products, Harlow Timber Systems designs and manufactures roof trusses, metal web joists and structural timber solutions for the construction industry. Their operations require reliable material handling equipment capable of safely transporting large, long and often awkward loads throughout busy manufacturing and yard environments.

Built for Long Load Handling
Both HELI forklifts have been specified with Dual Drive Front Axles, full factory cabs and integrated heaters to provide maximum performance and operator comfort throughout the year.
The Dual Drive Front Axle delivers enhanced traction, stability and control, making it particularly effective when handling long timber trusses and engineered wood products. This provides operators with greater confidence when transporting oversized loads across internal production areas and external yards, helping improve both productivity and safety.

A Modern Lithium Forklift Solution
The HELI CPD35 G2 Li-M combines the proven strength of a traditional counterbalance forklift with the benefits of advanced lithium-ion technology. Zero exhaust emissions, rapid opportunity charging, reduced maintenance and lower running costs make it an ideal solution for demanding manufacturing environments.
For businesses handling long loads such as timber, steel, plastics or construction materials, the HELI Dual Drive lithium range offers outstanding stability, year-round reliability and reduced total cost of ownership.
Fork Truck Direct supplies HELI Lithium Forklift Trucks throughout the UK, delivering tailored material handling solutions that improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and support long-term business growth.
