Electric forklift supports growing business
November 1st 2009 Thriving order books at The
Greenhouse People has led to
the company moving to a
new site and acquiring an
Aisle-Master articulated
forklift to ensure efficient use
of space in the storage bays at
its Stoke on Trent site.
Local materials handling
specialist Carrylift
recommended the Aisle-
Master both for its ability to
work in very narrow aisles
and its manoeuvrability. The
Greenhouse People now
profit from 50% increase in
pallet spaces – 750 in all.
The company chose an
electric AC powered Aisle-
Master and, as the
dimensions of packs of glass
are smaller than standard
pallets, shorter forks were
fitted. This prevents them
protruding through racking,
eliminating the risk of
dislodging or damaging
product stored in adjacent
bays. The truck lifts to a
height of 8.5m and has a
mast-mounted camera and
in-cab flat screen monitor to
make life easier for operators
picking from the high levels. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
