PROVIDES UP TO 30% MORE STORAGE
November 1st 2004

When Two Ten Communications needed to maximise the pallet capacity of its 70 000ft2 warehouse in Wetherby back in 2001, it re-equipped the building on a partial VNA system served by two Narrow Aisle Flexi lift trucks.

Continued growth at the company, owned by the Press Association, led last year to the opening of a new warehouse with a further 15 000 pallet spaces. The success of the original operation meant the Flexi was first choice to serve the new facility.

The building has 2.2m wide aisles and 10m high racking. The company opted for a new Flexi Generation 3 to meet the greater lifting heights and took advantage of the CCTV option.

The articulated design of the Flexi means it can operate in aisles as narrow as 1800mm and lift loads to 2000kg without any special floor requirements. It can lift to heights of 11m, with no need for additional guidance systems.

The company says that, compared to a reach truck, the Flexi can increase storage capacity by up to 30% just by cutting out the extra space a reach truck needs to turn in racking.
