Articulated trucks are a vital narrow aisle component
July 1st 2011 Blue Print's range of
aftermarket automotive
components consists of
24,000 part numbers, covering over
160 different product groups. The
company achieves best possible use
of warehouse space with the help of
four Aisle-Master articulated
forklifts for narrow aisle operation at
its DC near Maidstone in Kent.
The first two trucks were assigned
for a warehouse dedicated to the
storage of brake discs, radiators and
coil springs – 17,500 pieces in all
when at full capacity – and they
stack the varying sized pallets to a
height of 7.5m.
Part of an additional warehouse
for storing filters was racked out for
two further Aisle-Masters which
were ordered in the winter of 2010.
The resulting increase in pallet
density eliminated the need for
outside storage and saved the
considerable costs of acquiring
further warehousing facilities. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
