| Sidetracker multi directional lift
trucks are ideal for handling aluminium extrusions.
Sidetracker's expertise results in highly efficient
aluminium extrusion storage systems with aisles from
1500mm.
One Sidetracker carries out the work of 2 trucks carrying
aluminium extrusions in confined spaces.
Two Trucks in One
 Handling
extrusions up to 15 metres long on a restricted site
is a classic situation for a Sidetracker. The truck
supplied to Seldén Masts is also showing just how versatile
and tough Sidetrackers are.
In addition to handling the extrusions within a narrow
aisle warehouse, the truck carries in-coming loads from
the outdoor delivery area and up an access road to the
storage area, taking on the work of a conventional lift
truck.
The electro-hydraulic system used on the Sidetracker
is unaffected by wet weather and rough ground, unlike
trucks with electronics-based drive systems. The 250mm
diameter wheels give excellent grip and twin transmissions
traction on rough surfaces in the outdoor yard, and
the truck also has an all-weather cab.
Extrusions for the masts are stored on cantilever racking
4.7 metres high. In order to reach this height and also
allow access through the 2.3 metre high warehouse doors,
the truck has been fitted with a special triplex mast.
Low deck height allows full use of the racking right
down to floor level.
The width of the warehouse aisles is just 1600mm enabling
the maximum number of racks to be installed, in conjunction
with rail guidance.
To protect the expensive extrusions from damage, Sidetracker
has supplied special polyurethane-coated forks. |
