Atlet's 'Distribution Package'
December 1st 2005 With the introduction of its new generation reach truck - the Forte - Atlet has completed its co-ordinated range of lift trucks designed for busy distribution warehouses. The company's 'Distribution Package' comprises the latest trucks developed specifically for the four primary functions of a distribution site: unloading/ loading; pallet transporting; stacking and destacking; and order-picking.
All trucks are said to feature superior performance combined with high levels of safety, ergonomics and onboard computer systems - all designed to give high productivity, maximum uptime and low ownership cost.
For unloading, loading and pallet transporting, the Piccolo is an ultra-compact powered pallet truck for light-duty work on the loading bay and around the warehouse. With capacities up to 2000kg it is suited to use in limited spaces and can be carried on-board vehicles.
The Presto pallet transporter is designed for intensive heavy-duty work.
The pedestrian/stand-on truck, with capacities up to 2500kg, features patented a system - Friction Force - to give superior traction and stability. Its specially designed tiller steer-arm incorporates a computer (the ATC - Atlet Truck Computer) giving PIN access and enabling driving characteristics to be programmed.
The truck is also equipped with Atlet's new TRAC (Truck Remote Access) system. This facilitates diagnostic tasks by linking the truck, through a mobile phone, to Atlet's remote service centre computer.
For pallet stacking/ destacking and replenishment, Atlet has introduced the Forte, the latest generation of its UNS Tergo reach truck. The new version features enhanced performance, safety and ergonomics. The truck is also stronger and quieter, and its ATC on-board computer system has been further developed to aid diagnostics, allow a high degree of drivercustomisation and provide a host of operational data.
The Forte also has the TRAC system and is available in 1400, 1600 and 2000kg capacities with standard lift heights up to 10.8m.
For low level order picking, the Tempo combines productivity with advanced ergonomics, and offers significantly reduced maintenance costs. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
