CiTi truck is Euro star
September 1st 2011 Eurostar has selected the Linde CiTi truck
as a railside delivery solution for
palletised goods
High-speed passenger train operator, Eurostar, is the latest
Linde Material Handling (UK) customer to select and
purchase the award-winning new CiTi truck to handle
delivery of palletised goods to its trains at London's St Pancras
station.
Dave Bridges, Eurostar despatch manager explains: "We were
looking for a product that would not only make light work of
handling and delivering our on board magazine from the loading
bay to the train but also one safe enough for use in a busy
pedestrianised environment.
"In addition to the CiTi truck's light weight, easy operation
and safety parking brake, its easy charge battery makes it
extremely safe for use around the general public as well as a
grease-free way to move pallets of our in-service customer
magazine on and off board."
Said to be an innovative solution for the final stages of delivery
and movement of goods across demanding terrain such as
cobbles, manhole covers and slopes, CiTi truck is compact, light
weight and ideally suited to being stowed in-vehicles prior to use.
It is as light as any hand pallet truck but offers the additional
benefits of a traction motor, three-layer drive wheels with the
ability to negotiate obstacles up to 70mm and an electromagnetic
disc parking brake for maximum operator safety and control in
urban traffic.While the two-way system for lifting and lowering
traction saves time and effort when compared to the traditional
hand pallet truck. The CiTi truck has also been given the PIEK
Certificate for Quiet Delivery – critical for out of hours deliveries
in built up urban and residential areas.
Its maximum load capacity of 500kg makes CiTi truck suitable
for urban deliveries to retail outlets, restaurants, bakeries,
construction locations as well as office and home deliveries, DIY
and garden centres and for the pharmacy trade. The truck's 'plug
and play' energy pack provides a laptop-sized charger with
nickel-metal hydride battery. Eurostar will take delivery of its
Linde MH CiTi truck this
month. More articles from Linde Material Handling (UK) Ltd: |
