International logistics service provider on the road with PALGATE
GLS Austria impressed with the tailift from PALFINGER Company. 

GLS Austria General Logistics Systems Austria, or GLS for short (formerly General Parcel Austria), with its company headquarters in Ansfelden near Linz and 10 delivery depots in Austria, is one of Austria’s leading parcel delivery services with sales of 33 million euros and approx. 9 million parcels carried per year.

Through its integration in an internationally active enterprise, GLS International Holding based in Amsterdam, the Austrian firm has access to a network which guarantees reliable, high-quality parcel logistics. The logistics service provider has around 12,000 employees worldwide, of whom 15 are based in Anthering near Salzburg. In Salzburg approx. 10,000 parcels are handled daily, and delivered in a radius of approx. 150 km. 

 
In the fleet of 37 delivery vehicles currently deployed, an Iveco Turbo Daily was fitted with a PALGATE PBS 750 tail-lift. The driver Ibrahim Dogryol is pleased with the increased efficiency of his vehicle and PALGATE’s easy handling. “With the aid of the tailift parcels can be delivered much more quickly and conveniently.”

Whereas in the past it took a lot of muscle power to move the load and certain deliveries could not even be taken on – GLS transports parcels throughout Austria in weights up to 31.5 kg – it is now possible to handle any load, whether parcel or pallet, without any problem. The control convenience provided by the robust and comfortable foot switch is unique. The galvanised design of the PBS 750 prevents any corrosion and is also responsible for the reliability and durability of the product. 
 
“GLS Austria sets high standards for itself and its equipment suppliers. With the PALGATE tailift from PALFINGER we have definitely made a good choice for increasing our spectrum of performance. PALFINGER stands for quality and excellent service. I think it is highly probable that further vehicles will be equipped with PALGATE,” states Andreas Ruthenberg, production manager at GLS Austria.
