Long loads handled
January 1st 2012

A bespoke multi-direction reach truck from Sidetracker with front-loading and side-loading capabilities has minimised manual handling and improved productivity for aluminium glazing contractor Colorminium at its manufacturing site in Essex.

The truck has been designed to perform all load-carrying functions at the site, including six-metre-long stillages containing aluminium profiles, steel box pallets, glass carriers, timber pallets and steel waste bins. It has to lift loads six metres high, pass through a doorway 2550mm high x 1680mm wide and unload delivery vehicles.

The previous lift truck was unable to unload delivery vehicles, so incoming loads had to be pushed manually from the yard into the factory on trolleys.
