Top-Op Foods

Top-Op Foods in Dunstable have worked with Locators for over 20 years. With the business growing and a new unit recently taken on, they needed to refresh parts of their fleet and fit out the new space. Locators supplied a fresh package of Toyota trucks alongside racking for the new unit, taking their total Locators-supplied fleet past 20 pieces of equipment.

THE REASON BEHIND THE SOLUTION

Top-Op have run Toyota equipment for years and trust Locators to keep it running. With some of their 8 series counterbalance trucks due for replacement and a new unit being brought online, the timing was right to bring in newer kit.

Three new Toyota 9FBEKT16 counterbalance trucks went in to replace the older 8 series, two additional RRE140 reach trucks were added to the fleet (one of them dedicated to the new unit), and an LWE160 powered pallet truck was swapped in for an existing one. Racking was also installed in the new unit so the space could be put to work straight away. The result is a newer, more efficient fleet across both sites and a setup that suits how Top-Op actually run day to day.

Project FAQs

Why did Top-Op Foods refresh their fleet?

Some of their existing 8 series Toyota counterbalance trucks were due for replacement, and taking on a new unit meant they needed extra reach truck capacity at the same time.

Why stay with Toyota?

Top-Op have run Toyota equipment reliably for years. Moving to the 9 series brought better efficiency and operator comfort while keeping the fleet consistent and easy to support.

What went into the new unit?

A Toyota RRE140 reach truck was supplied for the new unit, along with racking installed to get the space ready for use.

How does the new fleet help day to day?

Newer trucks mean less downtime and better running costs, which keeps product moving smoothly across both the original site and the new unit.

How long have Top-Op worked with Locators?

Top-Op have been a Locators customer for over 20 years. With this latest delivery they now have more than 20 pieces of Locators-supplied kit on site, all backed by ongoing service and support.
