You’re thinking of buying or hiring an Aisle Master forklift, but who are Aisle Master, and what makes them one of the world’s leading manufacturers and sellers of forklift trucks?
In this short article, we’ll let you know a little bit about Aisle Master, and why at Beds & Bucks Forktrucks Ltd. we’re proud to have their products as part of our wide range of new forklifts and used forklifts.
Based in Monaghan, Ireland, Aisle Master is part of the Combilift family, specialising in producing high-quality articulated forklifts, designed to operate efficiently and safely in aisles as narrow as 1.6 m.
Apart from its world-renowned articulated forklifts, Aisle Master stands out due to its dedication to helping businesses maximise storage capacity and productivity within warehouses and other storage facilities.
To achieve this goal, Aisle Master provide free warehouse planning, to help businesses optimise their racking layout and reduce aisle widths, whilst also designing and manufacturing forklifts with specific criteria in mind, including:
Narrow aisle operation – One of the best ways to improve storage capacity in a warehouse or other storage facilities, is to have narrower aisles. But, due to the width of many forklifts, businesses are restricted to how narrow they can go and still allow for safe working. With the addition of an Aisle Master articulated forklift however, businesses are able to reduce aisle width down to 1.6m, allowing for more racking space and storage capacity, whilst still being able to operate safely.
Enhanced visibility – When operating a forklift in confined spaces and in particular, narrow aisles, having all-round visibility is vital for both safety and productivity purposes. All Aisle Master forklifts are designed with high-level visibility, as well as providing a comfortable, ergonomically-designed cab environment, allowing the operator unrestricted movement.
Indoor and outdoor operation – Operating a forklift in a warehouse environment often means switching between indoor and outdoor tasks. To enable indoor and outdoor operation, Aisle Master provide a range of forklifts, such as the Aisle Master articulated VNA truck, that can comfortably operate in any environment.
Aisle Master offers a wide range of state-of-the-art products designed for various lifting tasks in various different environments. Products include:
AC Electric Aisle Master – Aisle Master is one of the leaders in AC battery technology for articulated forklifts. The technology in the Aisle Master AC electric, not only allows for greater lifting capabilities and increased productivity, it also provides improved acceleration and gradeability.
Aisle Master LPG – Aisle Master LPG machines are equipped with a closed loop fuel system as standard, which helps to improve emissions and increase fuel economy.
