A nifty solution
February 1st 2008 Niftylift has bought a tow
tractor from Bradshaw
Electric Vehicles to
transport parts the quarter
of a mile from its stores to its
production area on public
roads. "We opened our new
stores in April this year and
were faced with the problem
of transporting the materials
in kit form from there to the
assembly area," says Derrick
Osborne from Niftylift.
"We looked at various
options to do this, including
a van and even a milk float,
but found an electric tow
tractor and trailer to be the
most economical option."
The tow tractor is used all
day and then charged
overnight ready for use the
next morning. Niftylift opted
for the T6 model which is
capable of towing up to
seven tonnes.
Bradshaw's T6 AC was
upgraded in 2007. It has
automotive style controls
and an AC drive system
which is said to give lower
service costs, as there are no
parts in the motor or
controller that can wear. More articles from Bradshaw Electric Vehicles: |
