Longer forks for easier pallet lifting
August 1st 2007 Forklifts from Toyota
Industrial Equipment are
helping to ensure
maximum efficiency and
reliability at British
Airways Regional Cargo.
The BA division works
with ten airlines, handling
materials as diverse as
computer software and
vegetables. The forklifts
used on site to unload and
stack the goods ready for
collection must be of the
highest calibre. After
testing three different
manufacturers, BA chose
five Toyota gas forklifts,
supplied through Toyota
Ireland's regional dealer,
Amlac. Reportedly
durable, reliable and
flexible enough to handle
freight of all weights and
sizes, the Toyota forklifts
have also been fitted with
longer forks for easier and
more efficient lifting of
airline pallets.
"Toyota's System of
Active Stability (SAS) is an
important benefit for us.
As the forklifts handle
freight of all sizes, some
of which are high value, it
is vital that drivers feel
confident operating the
trucks," says Gerry
McCormack, general
manager. "This is a
demanding operation
where every day is
different, but the Toyota
trucks meet all of our
requirements and provide
maximum efficiency. More articles from Toyota Material Handling (UK) Ltd: |
