Articulated to save space September 1st 2007 With growing pressures on
warehouse space, Heartbeat
Manufacturing turned to Translift
Bendi for articulated forklifts to
provide the solution.
Heartbeat's old bulk steel store
used counterbalance forklifts that
wasted valuable storage space,
however the Bendi needs just
1.6m-wide aisles to operate. The
truck chosen was the B318. Safety
features include seat presence
switch which ensures the truck is
only operational if the driver is
seated, an automotive style pedal
layout for an uncomplicated driving
technique and
traction cut
out, which
eliminates the
truck from
rolling
backwards if
started on a
gradient.
Translift Bendi
provided onsite
training
for three of
Heartbeat's
drivers. More articles from Translift Bendi Limited: |
