New truck gives cars a lift
September 1st 2007 Rochester-based Auto Renovations
has taken a delivery of a new
Samuk R45D from local dealer
Britannia Fork Trucks.
The diesel-powered counterbalance
truck benefits from a lifting
capacity of up to 4.5t and has been
re-rated with a load centre of
900mm. This ensures it is well suited
to lifting cars and light commercial
vehicles and positioning them on a
four-tier pallet stacking system.
The truck's Triplex mast enables
it to load accident-damaged
vehicles onto the top deck of the
salvage trucks which visit the yard
regularly.
Operating outside, the new
Samuk is expected to perform
about 50 vehicle movements per
day, and benefits from an allweather
cab with powerful heating
and ventilation system which has
proved a hit with drivers.
Paul Seymour, a director of Auto
Renovations, comments "Our
previous truck had an open cab
which made it particularly
unpleasant to operate in winter or
when it was raining.
"We selected the Samuk as it
was a modern truck with all of the
on-board features we required,
together with a proven driveline
and first class local dealer
support." More articles from Samuk Lift Trucks Limited: |
