Following a successful bid to the Mid and South Canterbury Trust we were awarded a $10,000 grant towards the cost of replacement of our Shed forklift. In addition to the purchase of the forklift, we have undertaken training and operator certification of a number of our Shed members to ensure the safe and correct operation of the forklift. The new machine is better equipped and more efficient than the machine it replaced and further benefits from lower engine and noise emissions.
We gratefully acknowledge the Mid and South Canterbury Community Trust for allocating grant funding for this project and to MH Equipment Supplies Ltd for helping us to source a suitable machine. Our thanks also to Mainland Driving School Ltd for providing our operator training and testing and to Gallagher Insurance for the provision of insurance cover for the machine.
