Order picking up to 6.5m
January 1st 2010 Hyster has launched a new order
picking machine for businesses
storing and picking items at heights of
up to 6.5m. The compact K1.0L series
travels and lifts simultaneously, and is
said to deliver superior performance
and productivity from just a 24V
battery.
The new model builds on many of
the features of the innovative Hyster
VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) truck and
will help managers to increase pick
rates, reduce operating costs and
improve energy efficiency.
"Order picking at height relies on
good travel and lift speeds and a truck
that makes it easy for the operator to
pick and drop off loads," explains
Robert O'Donoghue, warehouse
product manager for Hyster Europe.
The new Hyster K1.0L is available
in various configurations with
platform heights up to 4.8m, 1,000kg
load capacity. The models use similar
technologies to those developed for
the Hyster VNA products.
"The basic principles of medium
level order picking parallel those
found in man-up VNA operations for
which we have developed market
leading technology,"O'Donoghue
adds. More articles from Hyster Europe: |
