Space efficient November 1st 2007 Five Aisle-Master articulated forklifts are keeping operations rolling at West Midlands based PPE distributor, Protec Direct. The trucks have replaced a combination of reach and counterbalance machines and have enabled increases in pallet density and storage capacity at the 50 000ft2 site.
By exploiting the articulated design and capabilities of the one LPG and four electric powered trucks to work in narrower aisles and tighter confines than the reach trucks, Protec Direct has been able to replace bulk racking with space efficient pallet racking.
This has improved storage density by 20%, and has created more than 700 extra pallet positions. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
