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.
