Space saving
May 1st 2006

To gain best use of space, Alpha Colour Printers of Gloucester has built a new warehouse that is designed around Translift's Bendi articulated forklift. While the truck's space-saving design was a key factor in its selection, its ability to load and unload delivery lorries in the yard, was another advantage.

The B313 Bendi, a three-wheeler, electric forklift has a single steering wheel at the front for manoeuvrability and space saving. Although Alpha needs to lift 800kg loads to 7.2m in 1.9m wide aisles, the Bendi is capable of working in 1.6m aisles.

When putting loads away at right angles, the driver has a good view of the load, and there is no rear end swing.
