Raising the bar

Howard Tenens, has been able to pass on substantial cost savings to a client by replacing counterbalance trucks with a bespoke combination of a Combilift 4-way forklift and cantilever racking while saving space enhancing safety.

The LPG powered 4 tonne capacity Combilift has been fitted with a number of features including: the tapered platform design which gives extra stability to the loose bars when they are being offloaded and transferred to the racking. Rubber buffers fitted to the front face of the forks also protect the product from "metal on metal" damage when the bars roll back onto the tilted forks, with the additional advantage of eliminating noise and jarring when this occurs.
