Robust trucks

Distinction Door Solutions has taken delivery of two Aisle-Master trucks to ensure the seamless handling and storage of its stock of 25,000 door blanks, 80,000 glazing cassettes and other components in its warehousing facility in Barnsley.

Operations manager Dennis Bird explains: "The reach trucks we were using were not really up to the demands of outside operation - we had problems with damage to the tyres, and regular breakdowns were seriously impacting on our productivity. When we opened the new facility we realised we had to look at something more robust and reliable to ensure the supply of over 5,000 doors a week to our customers around the country." Two narrow chassis AC electric powered 1.5t capacity 15E models on a 5 year rental contract were supplied.
