Doubling up to maximise warehouse use
January 1st 2010 Acombination of two AC
electric powered Aisle-
Masters fitted with telescopic
forks and a double-deep storage
system is reported to be enabling
Walkers Transport to maximise use
of its warehousing facilities in Leeds.
Specialising in the express
distribution of palletised goods,
Walkers operates a VNA system –
4000 pallets are accommodated in
the racking, and double deep storage
is central to achieving this density.
Lifting and positioning pallets to
the inside space of high racking can
take its toll on a forklift's performance,
and until the Aisle-Masters
arrived,Walkers could not use the
very top, 7.6m beam for double deep
storage. The powerful battery and
hydraulics as well as the 3t, 8m mast
fitted to the Aisle-Masters help to
ensure every space is occupied.
Operations are also said to have been
speeded up
The drivers have welcomed the
change to the Aisle-Masters, appreciating
the comfortable seats and easy
access to the control panel. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
