Another industry first on these trucks is the option of electrically adjustable damping on fixed platform versions . At the touch of a button , its setting can be adapted to each operator ’ s weight and preference .
The Cat range covers all common conventional warehouse truck types , along with some more unusual choices .
EXPANDED CHOICES
As well as improving the ergonomics , performance , productivity and costeffectiveness of their products , Cat warehouse truck designers have expanded customer choice . For example , there are now 26 reach truck models to choose from , including light , standard , high-performance , four-way and multiway ranges . The ideal model can then be matched perfectly to specific applications through programming and a wide selection of options .
For the highly specialised world of VNA ( very narrow aisle ) warehousing , two new product categories have extended the Cat portfolio . One is a man-down VNA truck range , combining in-aisle storage-maximising efficiency with out-of-aisle mobility . It can be used to transport goods to and from the racking , as well as stacking and retrieving within it . This means there is no need for feeder trucks or P & D ( pick-up and deposit ) stations at aisle ends .
More specialised still is the Cat man-up turret truck range , designed for ultraefficient stacking and order picking in high VNA racking . Each truck is custombuilt , following a detailed site and operation study by a VNA consultant , to fit its application precisely . Modular construction allows almost infinite variation in cabin size , design and furnishing , truck width , mast and fork specifications , and other equipment .
CLEVER ALTERNATIVES
The Cat range covers all common conventional warehouse truck types , along with some more unusual choices . Impact urges customers to be openminded . “ If you ’ re currently operating
pedestrian or platform trucks , for instance , take a look at our ‘ stand-in ’ concept ,” says Steve . “ This is an area in which the trucks ’ designers have been building on their long-established world leadership .”
He continues : “ Our stand-in stackers and stand-in pallet trucks allow you to make fuller use of your valuable warehouse space . They also speed up every process . Compared to platform models , they have a more compact footprint and are more manoeuvrable , so you can make your aisles narrower . The stackers also have superior lifting abilities , so you can increase your racking height and store heavier loads at each level .”
Steve concludes : “ The latest developments have strengthened an already comprehensive Cat warehouse line-up – and there are many more to come . We will be very happy to find you the right solution and back it with firstclass , nationwide service and support .”
