Abbey opts for 4-way
November 1st 2008 Abbey Stainless Steels has
expanded its services and
moved to new premises in
Sheffield. Handling and
storage of raw materials is
now based around the
capabilities of two specialist
8t Combilift 4-way forklifts.
Group project manager
Scott Green, says "We
wanted to install high
racking for better use of
storage space, and needed
a versatile forklift able to
work in the narrow aisles
between racks and
manoeuvre around the
columns in the warehouse.
Once we checked out the
4-way abilities of the
Combilift, it was the obvious
solution."
Combilifts range from the
relatively lightweight 2.5t
models up to a hefty 14t
capacity for heavy duty
work. In this case, an 8t
capacity, diesel powered
unit was chosen with a
shorter than standard deck
to fit in the 2.7m aislewidths.
The truck proved so
effective that a second one
was ordered. More articles from Combilift Limited: |
