Number of trucks halved
October 1st 2005 Four years ago Kaye Aluminium took delivery of a fleet of Combilift 4-way forklifts. The trucks’ versatility enabled the company to halve the number of forklifts used while maintaining output and increasing operation efficiency. As a result a repeat order has been made.
The first four diesel Combilifts replaced five electric 4-way and three counterbalance trucks.
"The ability of the Combilifts to work inside and out, their sideways travel with long loads, their robust build and versatility enabled us to overcome in one go the issues we had with the former trucks: poor performance outside, downtime for battery charging and the need for elevated travel with load loads above machinery," says operations manager, Joe Jones. "The Combilifts had an immediate positive effect, which is why we have reordered."
Designed for long life and low maintenance, the trucks at Kaye Aluminium have also been fitted with an automatic engine shut down device to prevent unnecessary time clocking up should the driver be away from the truck for more than a few minutes. More articles from Combilift Limited: |
