Heartbeat Manufacturing transforms warehouse efficiency with Bendi forklifts

Advertisement - 17 Dec 2009

Growing pressures on warehouse space often see companies turn to Translift Bendi for its articulated forklifts to provide the solution, and Redditch-based Heartbeat Manufacturing is a good example. A family-owned business stretching back over 60 years, Heartbeat produces shop fittings for nationwide distribution and export markets that include prestigious clients like Harrods. Heartbeat's problem was simple but the various possible solutions exposed the need for careful choice. Its old bulk steel store used counterbalanced forklifts that wasted valuable storage space. Such trucks typically need 3.6m wide aisles compared with only 1.6m for the articulating Bendi. Even reach trucks need 2.6m. The Bendi, therefore, can allow operators to store up to 50% and 33% more pallet loads than counterbalance and reach trucks respectively.
