Trucks boost uptime for paper merchant
January 1st 2008 Donald Murray Paper has
upgraded the fleet of trucks
used at its warehouse near
Glasgow by replacing narrow aisle
stacker/order pickers from Atlet
with four of the latest Omni DCR
narrow aisle combination
stacker/order picker trucks from
the same supplier.
The new trucks are said to offer
significant advantages over the
earlier model which had been in
use at the warehouse for some
years. For example, the trucks
have a higher performance rating
and the battery capacity has been
increased which means more
demanding work is possible over
DMP's 10hr shifts.
Downtime is kept to a minimum
by the Omni DCR's energy-efficient
regenerative electronics system,
which returns charge to the battery
when the truck brakes and the
rising cab is lowered. This extends
the operation time between battery
charges. The increased efficiency
means there is no need for spare
batteries which saves on costs and
frees space for other tasks. Motors
are AC as standard. The on-board
computer has fault finding and selfdiagnostic
capabilities. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
