New and 'nearly new'
April 1st 2008 When Schiedel Rite Vent
was planning a new
finished goods and raw
materials warehouse at its
factory it specified double
deep racking served by a
new Atlet lift truck to
maximise storage capacity.
The new warehouse
complements existing
facilities, which use a
combination of double deep
and conventional racking.
Schiedel Rite Vent estimates
that it can store around 50%
more items in the same
space.
The new Atlet XTF
extending fork reach truck is
designed to operate in the
narrowest possible aisles,
leaving maximum space for
racking without
compromising overall
performance.
Each of the nine people
working in the warehouse
can operate all of the
trucks. Newer models have
PIN controlled access. Used
in conjunction with the onboard
computers, PIN
access can also help set
different performance
parameters for each driver.
The existing Atlet fleet,
including XTF ride-on and
ATF stand-on extending fork
reach truck models,
supplied on a fixed term
lease, were due for
replacement and Schiedel
Rite Vent decided its most
cost effective option was to
have these refurbished.
Atlet rebuilt each truck from
the ground up to 'nearly
new' standard using only
original parts. Trucks were
then resprayed and subject
to QA and safety checks prior
to redelivery. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
