Euro football supporters August 1st 2008 Yale and its Swiss dealer
Avesco AG supported
Europe's top sixteen football
teams and thousands of fans
visiting Switzerland for Euro
2008 by supplying Veracitor
VX lift trucks to help
construct temporary arenas
with viewing stands, giant
video screens and hospitality
areas in 16 Swiss towns and
cities.
Each arena complex
required 350t of construction
materials to erect viewing
stands and tents. Yale
counterbalance trucks were
used to unload vehicles and
position building materials
and stores on the sites. When
not screening live matches,
the arenas hosted live music
and screened past UEFA
championship games.
The Yale Veracitor VX
Series of 1.6 to 5.5t capacity
lift trucks were specified for
high productivity and
excellent operator
ergonomics. The series has
Auto Deceleration System
(ADS) with Techtronix
transmission. ADS is the
engine truck equivalent of
regenerative braking on
electric trucks, automatically
slowing the truck when the
throttle pedal is released. More articles from Yale Europe Materials Handling: |
