FORK LIFT TRUCKS FEATURE


such as 6m packs of timber weighing up to around 3t, and are also universal trucks for handling plasterboard, blocks, bricks and palletised loads, within the racking as well as outside. Most recent additions are two C4000Es at the Merton branch and numerous STEs at Whetstone and Camden. “We are keen to keep emissions as low as we can for the good of the environment, and also to keep noise levels to a minimum for our neighbours in residential areas, and these electric models tick all the boxes on both counts. Electric power is definitely the way forward for us and our drivers also like the quiet operation they offer”. Drivers’ opinions of handling equipment is not to be


underrated and Matt Long, who works at the Merton branch, is full of praise for the C4000E. “The guide rollers on the truck together with guided aisle operation make it so much quicker to access the aisles and speed up picking and placing, and there’s no risk of damaging the products either. Once the guys have been trained on the Combilift they never want to drive anything else.” “Our first Combilifts are still going strong and have


thousands of hours on the clock, with just a refurb or so in the interim for some of the original models,” said Harvey, “which is testament to their robust build and long life expectancy. We also like working with the company as the management and engineers are very open to any feedback we have, take it on board for product refinement, so we know we are getting machines 100 per cent fit for the job.”
