Last week’s open day hosted by Aisle-Master distributor Adapt-A-Lift attracted significant interest from the industry, with several requests for quotations being taken.
Adapt-A-Lift Queensland’s product specialist Mark Hansen tells Forkliftaction.com News that the company demonstrated the capabilities of the LPG and battery-electric forklifts in specially set-up narrow aisle racking.
"Aisle-Masters can work in aisles of just 1.98m based on Australian standardised pallet sizes, with capacities of up to 2.5 tonnes and lift heights of up to 12.5 metres," he says.
"While not application-specific, third-party logistics, DIY, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries are just some of the sectors which make use of these machines," adds imports business manager Alicia Whiffen.
The company is preparing to launch its new AC-powered model Aisle-Master in Australia towards the end of October, following the successful launch of the product at CeMat in Hanover earlier this year.
According to Whiffen, the AC forklift shares all the space-saving and versatile qualities of its predecessor, the DC-powered forklift, and the LPG model range, with other benefits including:
• enhanced performance levels;
• increased pallet movements for greater productivity;
• improved acceleration and gradability;
• fewer wearable parts resulting in less maintenance and reduced downtime; and
• reduced energy consumption.  Demonstrating the Aisle-Master's narrow aisle capabilities. |
