Narrow escape

Global supplier to the camping, caravanning and leisure industry, Thetford, has replaced counterbalance and reach trucks with three Aisle-Master articulated forklifts at its new 73,000ft2 manufacturing and warehousing facility in Rotherham. Aisle-widths are now much narrower than previously possible, resulting in 842 available pallet spaces.

The electric powered 2t capacity AM20 SHE models offload components and place them near production lines, take finished goods to the racking and high level bulk store, pick to order and load delivery trucks. Aisle-Masters have capacities of up to 2.5t and lift heights of up to 12.5m, with a choice of AC electric or LPG power.
