Productivity benefits

Manufacturer and distributor of heating and hot water systems and services, including the Baxi range of boiler units, BDR Thermea, upgraded the materials handling operation at one of its French finished goods warehouses with the introduction of articulated forklift truck technology supplied by Flexi Narrow Aisle, through its local French distributor.

The company now uses a fleet of eight Flexi EURO VNA trucks. At the heart of the four-wheel, electricpowered articulated truck, is a compact front wheel drive axle design which, combined with the four-wheel Flexi VNA's ability to truly articulate through 220 degrees, allows easy and safe stacking and minimal manoeuvring in the aisleways. In fact, the Flexi VNA AC requires just one turn of the steering wheel to enter or de-stack a pallet - which results in significant productivity benefits.
