You need space? October 10th 2007 Ingenious space saver
The Aisle-Master articulated forklift is one of the most versatile and cost effective pieces of equipment introduced in the materials handling, logistics and warehousing sectors for many years. By replacing a combination of reach and counterbalance forklifts with the articulated Aisle-Master, working aisle-widths can be reduced and storage capacity can be vastly increased – in fact up to 50% extra pallet density can be achieved.
Indoor and outdoor operation As the Aisle-Master is specifically designed to work both inside and out, it incorporates features such as cushioned tyres for operation on unpaved yards. It is therefore versatile enough to replace an unwieldy combination of counterbalance trucks for outside offloading and reach or guided VNA trucks for pallet placement inside. This makes for much simpler operations, cutting out double handling and speeding up “truck to rack” transportation. Cutting down on fleet numbers also reduces maintenance and associated costs.
Versatile Use
The range of applications for the Aisle-Master is virtually unlimited and customers include builder providers, DIY centres, third party logistics companies, furniture factories, tile distributors, stationery suppliers and general manufacturing and production facilities. All LPG models are fitted with 3 way catalytic converters as standard, ensuring that emissions are well within all international guidelines, with CNG power also an option. The electric powered Aisle-Masters are proving to be particularly popular in the food, pharmaceutical and electronics sectors.
The Aisle-Master advantage
You get added value with the Aisle-Master range - an impressive 2.5 tonne lift capacity , with lift heights of up to 12.5m also available. The company will carry out a free site survey and draw up a racking layout to enable the best possible use to be made of storage space – again, all free of charge. Each Aisle-Master forklift is designed, manufactured, assembled and undergoes stringent quality checks at the company’s dedicated manufacturing facility in Monaghan, Ireland.
