Greyhound developed the moffett mounty forklift system, one which is now copied by its competitors. This enables us to collect larger volumes of baled materials from customers’ back doors, therefore reducing costs and increasing revenues
All vehicles operate using Global Positioning System (GPS) to deliver real-time responses to customer queries
