Deacon Products, are a family owned company based in the heart of the Black Country, an area renowned for industrial history.  Deacon are a major manufacturer of wire rope and chain assemblies as well as a stockist of accessories and fittings, serving a wide range of industries.

Deacon had a requirement for a new Forklift Truck and contacted Handling Equipment UK who quickly supplied an EP EFL201 2000kg capacity Lithium Ion Forklift. 

The truck is used for general yard work including unloading containers.  Miles Connop, Sales Director of Deacon said ‘The truck arrived ready for us to unload a container which went great! The truck worked flawlessly and made it a dream to unload’ Miles continued ‘There are several reasons why the new EP Lithium Truck has been a benefit to us:

  • Opportunity Charging: We no longer have to worry about battery levels or wait for long charge cycles. The ability to charge during breaks ensures the truck is always ready to go. 
  • Enhanced Safety Features: With the latest safety features, such as barrier/perimeter lighting, reversing handle with horn, improved lights and sirens, and seatbelt requirements, we can rest easy knowing that the warehouse operates safely at all times. 
  • Minimal Maintenance: With virtually zero daily maintenance, this allows us to save time and use the truck immediately without any delays. 
  • Cost Efficiency: Knowing it’s a new truck with provided warranties reassures us that there won’t be any downtime, ensuring reliability for the foreseeable future. 
  • Environmental Benefits: The lithium battery technology is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, reducing our carbon footprint. 
  • Improved Performance: The truck offers better performance with consistent power output, even during extended use, enhancing overall productivity.

This is the first time that Deacon have worked with HEUK.  Miles said ‘We were looked after by Marie Lacey and we were very impressed with the service, delivery and overall commitment and attention throughout the sale process.  HEUK were a pleasure to deal with and look forward to working with them again’

We are delighted to work with Deacon, a local company, and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
