Designed and manufactured in Ireland the Aisle-Master articulated forklift is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment introduced to the materials handling and logistics industries for many years. This LPG powered machine has been designed to work in dramatically reduced warehouse aisle widths and yet can still work outdoors like a conventional forklift truck.

Aisle-Master is using the CeMat show in Hanover to launch its new AC powered truck onto the international market. This latest development puts the company firmly at the forefront of battery powered technology in the articulated sector. 

Thoroughly tried and tested

 “We have trialed the technology on a number of models over the last couple of years,” says company MD Gerry McHugh; “and trucks have also undergone rigorous testing at customers’ premises, with very positive feedback. We are way past the prototype stage and are now fitting AC as standard on all our electric models.”

Benefits all round

The AC truck naturally shares all the space-saving and versatile qualities of its predecessor and the company’s LPG model, with some of the main benefits of AC summed up as follows:

• Enhanced performance levels
• Increased pallet movements for greater productivity 
• Improved acceleration and gradability  
• Fewer wearable parts resulting in low maintenance and reduced downtime
• Reduced energy consumption
