Posted By Amanda Thorpe We are looking at getting a 'shunter'/yard truck for our warehouse facility to use to move trailers from one of our production facilities to another one just down the road; this would replace a conventional tractor unit and trailer. We've investigated the insurance/tax/training avenues and we understand the conventional lorry H&S implication in our yard and I've done a bit of research on these shunters but I feel we are a bit vague on the risks that these shunters have - over an above conventional traffic management. Anyone got a view on 'must haves' for these things which make life much easier from an operationa/health and safety view?

Posted By Ian Malugani Hi Could you possibly email any information about your shunter activities, we currently operate a shunt unit and are looking at what alternatives there are or improvements we could make. Many thanks Ian
