Charltons Farms x Acclaim Handling Partnership

At our core, long-standing partnerships are one of the most accurate measures of quality, trust and performance, especially for those at Acclaim Handling. This is why we are proud to shine a spotlight on one of our incredible customers – Charltons Farms (aka Rumwood Farms)! We have built a strong and reliable working relationship over the years of working with this incredible family, and we hope to only continue this over the future.

Most recently, this partnership grew to another exciting milestone, after the delivery of 12 brand new STILL RX20-20 electric forklift trucks. These trucks were an investment for Charltons, to support their continuous agricultural operations. This upgrade not only reflects the growing demands of their business, but also a mutual commitment to staying sustainable and delivering operational excellence in their work!

When you think of Charltons Farms, you think of quality and productivity within the UK farming industry. They’re known for their forward-thinking approach and all of their efficient operations, and they place a strong emphasis on using the right equipment for the job. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with their team to supply, maintain and support a fleet of robust and reliable material handling equipment.

Delivering 12 STILL RX20-20 Electric Forklift Trucks

The most recent delivery of 12 STILL RX20-20 electric counterbalance forklifts marks a pretty big upgrade from their existing fleet. These trucks are known for their energy efficiency and agile performance, which makes them an ideal fit for the fast-paced and high-demands of modern farming environments.

Here are the reasons why the RX20-20 was the perfect choice for Charltons:

• Zero emissions – helps to reduce their carbon footprint, which is an essential for agricultural business
• Compact yet powerful – it offers powerful lift capacity and has some speed to it, which is great for indoor and outdoor settings!
• Fast charging and long runtime – farms operate pretty much all around the clock, the RX20-20’s quick turnaround charging options and endurance help keep downtime at an all time low

This delivery was carefully planned out to provide Charltons with a smooth transition, with minimal disruption to their daily operations – which is something our logistics and service teams pride themselves on delivering with every truck.

Looking Ahead

Looking into the future, we can see that farming technology is expected to evolve, which means the need for sustainable, reliable solutions is going to become much more pressing. We’re excited to see what Charltons Farms have in store, and we look forward to supporting them on their journey.
