Stable solution for large loads
May 1st 2007 Promac Window Machinery Sales
has improved the loading and
handling of large piece of
machinery since replacing a
counterbalance forklift with a
Combilift 4-way truck.
The company supplies PVC,
glass and aluminium machinery to
the extrusion and glass and
glazing sector in the UK and
Ireland.
Scott Haslingden, director, says
"Machines such as mitre saws or
PVC welders can be 10m long,
weigh more than 2t and are very
problematic loads as their uneven
weight distribution makes them
badly balanced.
"Offloading and
manoeuvring them into the
building with the
counterbalance truck entailed
complicated and hazardous
manoeuvres."
The C4000 LPG 4t capacity
Combilift has streamlined
offloading, improved health
and safety procedures and
eradicated the risk of damage.
Loads can be rested on the
platform rather than being
balanced on forks, which is said to
be more stable. More articles from Combilift Limited: |
