Fleet fantastic for plastics
September 1st 2009 Injection moulding specialist,
Plasticum, has switched to a fleet of
three AC electric powered Aisle-
Master articulated forklifts to look
after all handling and storage
procedures at its production facility
near Norwich.
With 3200 pallet spaces and
around 1000 pallet movements per
day, the company cannot afford costly
handling equipment downtime, and
since the Aisle-Masters have been in
operation they have been working on
an intense 24/5 basis.
The powerful 930A battery fitted to
the AC 20SE model copes easily with
a steep slope leading from the
manufacturing facility to the
warehouse, eliminating the need to
have one gas truck specifically for this
area as was previously the case. In
terms of cost and time, working with
just one power source is a much more
convenient option, says the firm.
Easy operation, good visibility and
high levels of manoeuvrability result
in a comfortable driver's
environment. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
