Truck allows effective use of doubledeep racking
November 1st 2006 Introducing the latest high specification Atlet Tergo Forte reach truck as part of a scheduled fleet replacement has enabled Knights of Old to utilise more effectively the double-deep racking in its Kettering warehouse. The ability to handle full weight pallets into more of the available locations will help the company as it continues to expand its transport and distribution operations. The installation is believed to be one of the highest double-deep applications in the UK, with a top beam height of 10.3m. In addition to reach trucks, Atlet supplied high level order pickers, ride-on and pedestrian-operated powered pallet trucks to support highly flexible handling and order picking. Ian Beattie, operations director at Knights of Old, says "We can now operate double-deep to the full pallet specification in 95% of all locations. As our business has changed, Atlet has been flexible to meet our demands." The company chose the latest version of Atlet's Tergo reach truck, the Forte S3, which features enhanced performance, a high degree of safety though its S3 Stability Support System, and ergonomics. Its on-board computer system aids diagnostics, allows driver customisation and provides a host of operational data. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
