Prime movers

Logistics and supply chain provider, Primeline, has taken delivery of three AC electric Aisle-Master articulated forklifts, enabling it to increase storage space at a Dublin distribution centre by 2000 pallet spaces.

By capitalising on the Aisle- Masters' ability to work in narrow aisles and excellent manoeuvrability, Primeline was able to cut down the width of the aisles needed by its old reach trucks. This allowed the rows of racking to be increased from 20 to 26 in the existing area, improving pallet density to such an extent that costly and disruptive relocation was avoided.

Aisle-Master engineers modified the design of Primeline's fleet to be able to lift 1000kg loads to a height of 11.4m.
