Manoeuvres wide loads

By replacing a counterbalance truck
with a tailored Combilift 4-way
forklift, London based Kingsbury
Builders’ Merchants has been able to
improve health and safety
procedures around its site as well as
increase the amount of product
stored by 60%.

Due to space constraints,
incoming deliveries are offloaded on
the road by the entrance, and long
loads used to be lifted across the
pavement and over a 5ft wall with
the counterbalance truck. As well as
obstructing the public this high-level
lifting was also potentially very
hazardous. The Combilift’s ability to
manoeuvre round even the tightest
corners and negotiate gradients with
loads resting on the platform makes
offloading safer and less disruptive
for all concerned.

Kingsbury can now also stock a
wider range of timber.
