The difference is clear
October 1st 2009 Thriving order books at greenhouse
provider, The Greenhouse People,
has led to the company moving to a
new site and acquiring an
Aisle-Master articulated
forklift to ensure the best
use of space in the storage
bays.
Local materials handling
specialist Carrylift
recommended the Aisle-
Master due to its ability to
work in very narrow aisles
and its manoeuvrability.
The Greenhouse People is
now profiting from 50%
increase in pallet spaces –
750 in all, compared to around 500
that could have been achieved with
the old counterbalance forklift.
The warehouse is divided into
three sectors: a stockroom for finished
products, an accessories bay for
garden peripherals, and a storage area
for raw materials. The
racking in this section was
laid out according to the
capabilities of the Aisle-
Master which was
originally intended to
work here, handling pallets
or crates of glass and
bundles of aluminium
profiles.However the
truck's versatility means it
is also useful elsewhere; its
indoor/outdoor operation,
for example, enables it to
offload from incoming delivery
vehicles in the yard. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
