Fleet switch proves success for Plasticum
September 1st 2009 Injection moulding specialist
Plasticum has switched to a fleet
of three AC electric powered
Aisle-Master articulated forklifts to
look after all handling and storage
procedures at its Norwich facility.
The trucks have proved a success
for both management and drivers on
a number of counts. Easy operation,
good visibility and manoeuvrability
make for a comfortable working
environment. The powerful 930A
battery fitted to the AC 20SE model
copes easily with a steep slope
leading from the manufacturing
facility to the warehouse.
Trucks offload raw materials –
palletised boxes and bags of polymer
and dry goods – in the yard and
transport finished product from
manufacturing area to warehouse. In
the interim, they store pallets in
racking to a height of 5.3m.
The AC technology in the electric
Aisle-Master models ensures battery
efficiency throughout shifts, smooth
operation due to immediate
response to controls and improved
energy consumption. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
