Stanley gives students a lift December 1st 2009 Students learning construction
trades at City College Birmingham's
new North West Skills Academy in
Ladywood are getting a lift from a
new ROBUR SBC2510
counterbalance truck from Stanley
Handling.
Plant engineers designing the
workshops for the new academy
needed a pedestrian truck with a
small footprint, the lowest possible
mast height and precise speed
controls for moving materials
through low doorways and in
enclosed spaces.
The ROBUR truck has a lowered
mast height of just 1780mm and a
highly manoeuvrable 970mm chassis.
Powered lift and drive, electronic
speed control, electromagnetic
braking and an operator safety button
also help the unit meet the required
specification. Importantly, the college
can now use a forklift truck to collect
materials and drop them by an
outside door from where they can be
moved on more easily and safely
around the training areas. More articles from Stanley Handling Limited: |
