LPR automates depots

LPR, the pallet pooling company is automating two of its depots as part of an expansion plan.

It is working with XPO to upgrade Sywell and Avonmouth depots which will become fully automated, a move intended to shore up the efficiency, safety and working environments of the sites.

LPR is also increasing funding for its flatbed vehicle service with XPO. The offering is due to be rolled out across the North West early next year, with LPR also working with a number of regional transport businesses to provide a similar service UK-wide.
