High performer in the cold
Penwith Cold Store in Cornwall has taken delivery of a new Samuk HJ15 three-wheel electric forklift truck from local dealer PWF Forklifts. With a lifting capacity of up to 1.5 tonnes, the truck will be used to move a variety of frozen food products on pallets across the company’s three cold storage units in Hayle.
Like all products in Samuk’s HJ trucks range, which spans the 1.3 to 2.0 tonne sector, this model features a heavy-duty mast designed to resist wear and tear. This also provides an extremely rigid base for the carriage and forks, allowing Penwith Cold Store to make safe use of the truck’s good operating speeds.
The truck’s specification includes fully programmable regenerative electric braking, which almost eliminates the need for the footbrake and can be adjusted to suit the load, site and operator.
A toggle-action park brake is also fitted which can hold the truck securely on inclines of up to 15 per cent.
