Asda saves

Supermarket chain Asda has been able to save, on average 40% space in its 'back of house' high bay racking areas thanks to reducing aisle widths to less than 2m and operating VNA Bendi trucks.

By replacing counterbalance and reach trucks and opting for a fully remanufactured rear wheel drive Bendi model; a design which was patented by Translift Bendi in the 1980s, Asda now has the specification for indoor and outdoor use.

And with the introduction to store of the new Mini Bendi pedestrian articulated forklift truck, Asda is looking to make even greater storage space savings.
