Case Study - Packing Crates
To increase storage capacity a Sidetracker multi directional
reach truck with an 8.1 metre lift was supplied to handle
2.6 metre deep x 1.9 metre wide packing cases 4 high.The
aisle was reduced from 7 metre to 4.3 metres allowing
an extra row of storage and still enough for the truck
with load to rotate 360 degrees.
 Case
Study - Signs
To pickup and transport signs a spreader beam was fitted
to a Sidetracker 4 way sideloader. The beam was designed
to carry a range of different length signs from 3 to
12 metres.
To maximise the storage density the beam can extend
along the length of the forks to enable the signs to
be reached over existing stored products.
Case Study - Cable Drums
A Sidetracker multi directional fork truck was supplied
to handle cable drums up to 2 metres diameter and standard
pallets without special lift attachments in a 2 metre
aisle.
Normal tucks would struggle to achieve anything like
the versatility that comes with a Sidetracker fork truck.
Case Study - Roll Storage and Handling
 A
highly manoeuvrable Sidetracker multi-directional reach
truck handles 3.5 metre long rolls of polythene which
is stored in cantilever racking to a height of 5.5 metres
dramatically increasing storage capacity and reducing
product damage.
The rolls are handled by pickup arms which locate onto
the core tube at the ends the rack arms in turn also
have special sockets for the tube to locate. This arrangement
eliminates any contact with the product so there is
no risk of damage or contamination.
The Sidetracker's compact dimensions and high manoeuvrability
are essential criteria for transporting the rolls from
the stores through the production area to the processing
machinery where turning areas and aisle widths have
been kept to a minimum.
