Servicing 5000 pallet spaces
20 August 2013
Personal care product manufacturer, Mibelle Group relies on five (soon to be six) Aisle-Master articulated trucks at its UK manufacturing and distribution centre in Bradford.

The 1.5t capacity electric-powered 15E Aisle-Masters transport incoming raw materials such as palletised drums of chemicals to the storage facilities and manufacturing areas and also pick finished goods. The chassis width of just over 1m enables easy operation in narrow aisle 6m high racking and has enabled loading bay widths to be reduced to add extra rows of stock.
A key benefit is the integral hydraulic fork positioner as Gareth Barnes, warehouse manager, explains: "Due to the widely varying sizes of pallets we handle this has been a great time saver. The drivers use it virtually all the time and no longer need to get on and off the trucks to manually adjust the forks.”
"Downtime and problems with spare parts used to be a daily occurrence but thankfully this is history,” says Barnes. "We can now rely on this dependable fleet to service our 5000 pallet spaces across both long shifts.”
