01 Apr 2010 CW Team

Logistics and supply chain provider Primeline has taken delivery of three AC electric Aisle-Master articulated forklifts that enables the company to increase storage space at its Dublin distribution centre by an extra 2,000 pallet spaces. By using the Aisle-Masters, Primeline was able to cut down the width of the aisles needed by its old reach trucks, allowing the rows of racking to be increased from 20 to 26 in the existing storage area.

Primeline required the trucks to lift 1,000 kg to 11.4 m, a tall order for an articulated truck.
