Articulated option for ikea
February 1st 2010 IKEA has ordered three Flexi EURO
articulated trucks from Narrow Aisle
for use in the goods-in warehouse at
its Milton Keynes UK store.
Trailers deliver to the store's
extensive storage area every day and
the Flexi EUROs will be used to
unload incoming vehicles and deliver
palletised loads directly to the racking
within the Milton Keynes store's
extensive warehouse.
A compact four wheel truck, the
Flexi EURO has the ability to lift
1,800kg loads.With lift heights of
over 8 metres in very narrow aisles, it
is suitable for facilities where space is
at a premium.
John Maguire, Narrow Aisle's sales
and marketing director, says:
"Articulated truck users know they
allow pallets to be picked and put
away notably faster than with a reach
truck. The fact that an articulated
truck does not have to waste time
reaching in and out of the pallet and
the racking to retrieve a load makes
for a far more efficient work cycle.
"This allied to the fact that they
can work both inside and outside was
a big influence on Ikea's decision to
use Flexi EUROs." More articles from Narrow Aisle Flexi: |
