Amazing effort alert: Our UK Sales Specialist, Amber, recently set out on a trip to Kenya to support a school in one of Nakuru's most disadvantaged communities.

The trip didn't quite kick off as planned, with delays due to local transport strikes and safety concerns in Nakuru. But once the team arrived at Jubilee Academy, they got straight to work:

⭐ Refurbishing a classroom
⭐ Upgrading the teachers' toilets & improving facilities for children
⭐ Freshening up cupboards
⭐ Leading lessons, playing games & sharing meals together

Opting to put in longer days to make up for the initial delays, the team ended up making even more of an impact.

An incredible cause we're happy to sponsor, well done to Amber!

Across 9 Sunbelt Rentals depots, one simple change has tripled efficiency.

Before, moving cabins in and out of paint shops for Sunbelt wasted staff time, pulling them away from the work they've been hired to do, as well as causing downtime waiting for certified forklift operators.

🚫 3-4 people per move
🚫 Waiting on licensed forklift drivers
🚫 Diesel emissions in enclosed workshops
🚫 Poor visibility in tight spaces
🚫 Skilled operators tied up on low-value tasks

By switching from forklifts to our PowerSteered electric tugs, cabin movements through sites now only require a single operator to do what previously took a team of four.

✔️ 300% efficiency increase per operator
✔️ Single-operator task
✔️ Zero emissions inside paint shops
✔️ No operator licence required
✔️ Loads move on demand, no more waiting around
✔️ Staff can focus on higher value work!

Ewan Robertson, Operations Director at Sunbelt Rentals: "It's a big manpower saving. We go from having three or four people involved... to having that down to one person."

We're still thinking about our recent charity football evening at Pride Park ⚽

Here are a few more highlights from the event - hosting local youth football clubs to raise an incredible £10,534.66 for Marie Curie UK.

Thank you again to all our fantastic volunteers and young players.

How are jet engines moved around your hangar?
If the answer involves a diesel forklift then there might be a better way.

Using forklift trucks to transport heavy aero engines in MRO workshops can be limiting:
🚫 Restricted visibility
🚫 Risk of collisions with high-value parts
🚫 Stop-start movements
🚫 Multiple spotters needed
🚫 Long turnaround times

Every minute on the ground costs money in MRO. And every collision with a high-value engine costs even more.

Our range of electric tugs allow a single operator to manoeuvre heavy engines and transport stands through workshops - even up inclines and into tight bays for:
✅ Faster turnarounds
✅ Reduced damage risk
✅ Maximum visibility
✅ Single operator movement
✅ No licence needed

Make the switch to the smarter, faster alternative to heavy load moving in MRO.

Last Friday, we hosted something really special.

Local youth football clubs, Ashbourne Aztecs Junior Football Club and Melbourne Dynamo FC (players from U7 all the way up to U12), took to Derby County FC's pitch at Pride Park Stadium for an evening of football fun in aid of Marie Curie UK.

The evening's activities raised £5,534.66 for Marie Curie, a leading end-of-life care charity - and we were proud to top that up with a £5,000 MasterMover match contribution to take the total raised to an incredible £10.534.66

A huge thank you to:
🟨 Ashbourne Aztecs FC, Melbourne Dynamo FC, and their coaches
🟨 Every player, parent, and supporter who came out on the night
🟨 Our brilliant team who gave up their time to volunteer
🟨 Matthew Nickson and the Marie Curie team

As James Jones, Partner at MasterMover, put it: "To see so many young footballers playing at Pride Park, with families coming together to support such a worthy cause, was truly special."

We've been proud to support Marie Curie since 2024 and this was our most ambitious fundraising effort yet. Here's to doing even more for a very worthy cause 💛

You hire your team for value-added work, not to manually shunt heavy loads between the different stages of that work. This wastes time and risks injuring your staff.

Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland decided to eliminate wasted manpower and downtime waiting for licensed forklift drivers by switching to our PowerSteered electric tugs.

🟨 Up to 75% manpower saving so the team can focus on work that counts
🟨 300% efficiency increase per operator
🟨 50% less forklift time

Free-up your team to focus on higher-value tasks and reduce the risk of injuries with less reliance on forklifts by switching to electric tugs.
