Samuk: 'What credit crunch?'
September 23rd 2008 Samuk Lift Trucks is bucking the trend of the current difficult economic climate and experiencing unprecedented demand for its high speed ‘R’ series. Similar to volume cars, the ‘R’ series is designed around a common floor pan and models feature 90 per cent common parts. Now customers are specifying ‘R’ series trucks, confirming their appeal as value-for-money, reliable workhorses with reduced parts stock and quicker driver and service training.
Aimed at the volume market, the ‘R’ series is Samuk’s latest successful fork truck range and comprises ten LPG/diesel models, with capacities ranging from one to five tonnes.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, popular options include Diesel 3A and LPG engines, ‘near Scandinavian’ quiet operator cabs plus suspended power trains for minimum vibration and noise emissions. An extensive range of load handling attachments is also available for fitment to duplex and triplex masts. Samuk’s very heavy duty masts are more robust than other makes featuring 120mm diameter rollers (instead of 100mm) thereby eliminating sway during precise stacking and demanding applications involving double handlers, rotators and long off-centre loads.
‘R’ series trucks are designed to be serviced easily by mechanical engineers without the need for laptops or complicated technology. This simplicity reflects the design office adage – “KISS“ (Keep It Simple Stupid!).
With a choice of payment and service options to complete the package, Samuk’s range is currently hard to beat. These Asian-manufactured trucks are expected to match their Japanese rivals in terms of both quality and unsophisticated technology. Many drivers of the ‘R’ series would say they’ve done so already!
