Storage boost November 1st 2006 Replacing a conventional sideloader with a multi-directional LPG-powered Sidetracker has enabled Durapipe UK to increase capacity at its bulk storage site near Cannock by more than 20%. Durapipe manufactures thermoplastic pipework systems. Products are made in lengths to 10m and stored in bulk at the 12 000m2 external storage site or in a warehouse for small order picking. The manoeuvrability of the Sidetracker, particularly its ability to travel in any direction or rotate on the spot, has enabled aisle widths to be reduced to 3m. The truck is suitable for permanent outside use, having an LPG engine rated at 43kW and an all-weather cab. Over-size forks measuring 1050mm long have been fitted. Fork spread can be adjusted easily by the driver between 200 and 2350mm. More articles from Sidetracker Engineering Ltd: |
