Articulated trucks work inside & out

With next day delivery a priority for most customers, commercial vehicle spares distributor Universal Components relies on a fleet of four Aisle-Master articulated trucks to ensure the smooth running of logistics operations at its Sheffield site.

The Aisle-Masters have replaced a previous fleet of articulated trucks.

Universal Components has around 6800 pallet spaces spread across a number of warehouses, so the Aisle- Masters' ability to work inside and out, and on uneven surfaces, is particularly beneficial for moving goods across the site.

The integrated side shift in the 2t capacity trucks also makes light work of handling the large volume of varying sizes of pallets and stillages that come into the depot on 300+ containers a year.

Operator comfort and safety are also priorities, and in this respect the trucks have been enthusiastically received.
