7,000th truck delivered in UK
August 1st 2007 Translift Bendi has reached
another milestone in its
articulated truck history with
the delivery of its 7,000th
truck into the UK
Over recent years the
articulated marketplace has
out grown its niche label
and Bendi truck sales have
dramatically accelerated
year on year.
During the development
of the Bendi range in the
1990s, many key safety
features were incorporated
in the trucks design – these
included seat presence
switch which ensures the
truck is only operational if
the driver is seated, an
automotive style foot pedal
layout for an uncomplicated
driving technique and
traction cut out which
eliminates the truck from
rolling backwards if started
on a gradient.
Since 1989, inventor
Freddy Brown and the Bendi
have won nine awards which
include the Queens Award
for Innovation, and the Fork
Lift Truck Association (FLTA)
Lifetime Achievement and
Innovation award. The
company puts its continued
success down to versatility
and the premium placed on
warehouse space.
Bendis operate
comfortably in aisles as
narrow as 1.6m and lift to
heights above 12m.
They are equally at home
working outside on the
roughest of yards. More articles from Translift Bendi Limited: |
