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.
