All-way mover
March 1st 2008 Moving, stacking and locating
stock at Access Technologies in
Shropshire has become easier
since the arrival of a Combilift
forklift.
The company produces open
steel flooring and safety access
products and wanted to improve its
handling procedures.
Tony Baldassarra, operations
director, says "Trying to get 6m
long packs of panels and 7.5m
long tubes up a gradient and
through a 4.8m wide doorway with
counterbalance trucks was a trial,
and potentially dangerous, not to
mention time consuming."
The Combilift
C3000 3t capacity
multi-directional
forklift, supplied by
Abex, is an LPGpowered
truck that
works both as a
counter-balance
and sideloader,
inside and out. It
offloads deliveries
in the yard in
forward mode, a
push of the button
initiates sideways
mode to carry long
lengths through
doors, and it will block stack in
narrow aisles. More articles from Combilift Limited: |
