When Yamazaki Mazak was faced
with the problem of moving heavy
machinery from one end of nine
loading bays to the other,Movetech
UK, the new name for British
Turntable, came up with a simple
and cost-effective solution – the 5 x
3m, 20 tonne capacity wheeled
platform can be attached to and
steered by a forklift truck.

The problem lay in negotiating
large machining equipment in one of
the central bays, restricting access
between the bays at either side.

“Movetech UK came up with the
ideal solution – a simple wheeled
transporter fitted with a tow handle
at one end so that machines can be
pulled manually to the right loading
bay ready for dispatch,” says Dave
Jones, shipping manager.
