Aisle-Master AC model launched at CeMat
June 18th 2008

Aisle-Master launched its new AC powered model on to the international market at this year's CeMat in Hanover. Already acknowledged as the pioneer of LPG in articulated forklifts, this latest development puts the Irish specialist manufacturer firmly at the forefront of battery powered technology in the articulated sector.

"This technology has been trialed on a number of models over the last couple of years," says company MD, Gerry McHugh, “and trucks have also undergone rigorous testing at customers' premises, with very positive feedback. We are way past the prototype stage and are now fitting AC as standard on all our electric models."

The AC truck naturally shares all the space-saving and versatile qualities of its predecessor and the company's LPG model range, with some of the main benefits of AC summed up as follows:

• Enhanced performance levels

• Increased pallet movements for greater productivity

• Improved acceleration and gradability

• Fewer wearable parts resulting in low maintenance and reduced downtime

• Reduced energy consumption

Aisle-Masters can work in aisles of just 1.75m, with capacities up to 2.5t and lift heights up to 12.5m. The 3rd party logistics, DIY, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries are just some of the sectors enjoying the benefits of the Aisle-Master range. All Aisle-Masters are designed and built at the company’s dedicated production facility in Monaghan, Ireland, ensuring a top quality and extremely reliable product.
