Aisle-Master trucks in operation and saving storage space for Addspace
Rotherham based furniture manufacturer Addspace has created 50% more storage space in its warehouse by replacing counterbalance trucks with three Aisle-Masters. Addspace supply self assembly furniture and increased orders led to the need to stock more material, which in turn led to the requirement for more storage space.
Local materials handling specialists Ability Handling recommended Aisle-Master articulated forklifts as a way of achieving the best possible storage density in the space available. The electric powered Aisle-Masters now work in the finished goods warehouse, and the 5m high racking in this section has been reconfigured, with aisle widths now only 2m compared with the 3.7m needed with the old system.
Three extra sets of racking have now been installed to accommodate standard euro pallets as well as larger pallets for packs of longer units.
