Briggs Equipment is proud to celebrate a long-standing and evolving partnership with Peel Ports Group, one of the UK’s largest port operators. Spanning more than 25 years, this collaboration has been built on shared values, particularly safety, compliance, and sustainability, and continues to go from strength to strength.
At the core of the partnership is a diverse fleet of over 600 pieces of materials handling equipment (MHE), which includes empty container handlers, reach stackers, forklift trucks, pallet trucks, loading shovels, and more. This wide-ranging fleet supports Peel Ports’ large-scale and varied operations across multiple sites.
Building Tailored, Responsive Solutions With Briggs Equipment
Briggs works closely with Peel Ports to provide tailored, responsive solutions that evolve in line with operational demands and strategic goals. A key aspect of this relationship is our shared commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, which is how we’ve worked together to drive down emissions, enhance operator wellbeing, and ensure full compliance with all relevant governance standards.
A major development in recent years has been the transition from diesel-powered equipment to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and electric alternatives. This marks a significant step in the port decarbonisation journey and reflects Briggs Equipment’s commitment to providing innovative, sustainable materials handling solutions.

First-class Onsite Support
Another critical component of the relationship is the on-site support delivered by Briggs’ team of resident engineers. These highly skilled engineers, based at Peel Port Groups locations, allow for fast, expert servicing and maintenance across the full fleet. Keeping business moving in this way minimises downtime as well as delivering compliance, fuel efficiency and improves the operator experience.
Further compliance measures include ensuring all LOLER inspections are up to date, regular servicing and health checks for equipment, tyre maintenance to ensure performance and safety, the installation of AI-enabled cameras and advanced telemetry systems
This dedication to high standards of care and compliance makes Briggs Equipment a trusted and dependable partner to Peel Ports Group.
