Safety and versatility August 1st 2007 Two electric-powered 2t capacity Aisle-Master articulated forklifts have enabled Marley Plumbing and Drainage to do away with its previous mix of counterbalance forklifts for outside work and reach trucks in the warehouse. Now, products can be offloaded and taken directly to racking with the one type of truck. Operations are said to be safer as there is no need for drivers to chop and change trucks. The truck's space-saving, articulated design has enabled aisle widths to be cut by 30%. This, together with racking installed to a height of 10m, has achieved a significant increase in storage space. Marley has also noticed a reduction in damage to racking compared with the reach truck. The trucks can work in aisles of just 1.75m, with capacities to 2t, and lift heights to 12m. Good visibility, high quality suspension seat, adjustable steering column and lack of rear end swing contribute to a safe working environment. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
