Anglesey gets an Aisle-Master
December 1st 2006 Anglesey Aluminium, a smelter that produces over 140,000t of aluminium per year, has taken delivery of an Aisle-Master articulated forklift at its smelting plant in Holyhead. Stores team leader, Craig Bolton was faced with a challenge when looking to replace the old stand-in reach truck which, he admits, was becoming a museum piece. The pre-existing aisle widths were configured around the dimensions of the reach truck, and the very tight areas posed a problem for most potential replacement forklifts. After trialling an Aisle-Master, Craig and his colleagues were extremely impressed with its performance overall, and in one problematic, very narrow aisle in particular. He realised this articulated forklift was the answer: "The only other solution would have been to take all the racking down, relocate all the pallets and build a new aisle. With 12,000 different products in store this represented a logistical nightmare." More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
