Be a Space Master with Aisle-Master October 30th 2006 The spiralling cost of acquiring extra warehousing space and the inconvenience of relocating can be avoided if the use of storage space in existing premises can be fully exploited. Getting the space/storage density ratio right can result in massive savings. The Aisle-Master range of articulated forklifts enables you to do just that. Here’s how: Aisle-Master has achieved impressive global exports with trucks operating in most EU countries and as far afield as Australasia and North and Central America. The company has now stepped up activities in the UK market, enabling users closer to the home of its Irish manufacturing facility to benefit from its articulated forklifts. Long regarded as a specialist in the field of LPG technology, Aisle-Master has now also introduced the additional option of electric trucks to its range. The Aisle-Master is an increasingly popular solution for a wide range of sectors such as 3rd party logistics, DIY, manufacturing, and the food and beverage industry. The major advantages of the Aisle-Master are as follows: Firstly; space saving. By narrowing down working aisle widths to just 1.75m., a potential increase in storage capacity of 50% can be achieved over reach and counterbalance forklifts. Secondly, it was specifically designed to work both inside and out, and incorporates features such as cushioned tyres for operation on unpaved yards. It can therefore replace an unwieldy combination of counterbalance trucks for outside offloading and reach or guided VNA trucks for pallet placement inside. This obviously makes for much simpler and straightforward operations, cutting out double handling and speeding up “truck to rack” transportation. Lift heights of up to 11.5m and capacities of 2.000kg make the Aisle- Master a flexible option for a wide variety of applications.  All LPG models are fitted with 3 way catalytic converters as standard, with CNG power also an option. Aisle-Master already manufactures to the stringent USA Tier II emission regulation standards and is well equipped to comply with any tightening of domestic regulations. Build quality is also a particular feature of the Aisle-Master range, which is manufactured at the company’s dedicated facility in Ireland. The trucks undergo stringent quality controls resulting in a reputation for extremely reliable operation. When it comes to the actual business of driving the trucks, Aisle-Master drivers are unanimous in their praise for its easy operation. This can be put down to the logical layout of controls and the specific intention of the design engineers to keep complicated (and therefore sensitive) electronics to a minimum. Its robust construction, excellent visibility from the cab, high quality suspension seat, adjustable steering column and lack of rear end swing when manoeuvering all contribute to a safer and more comfortable working environment.
