The Combi-CS also won praise from tooling technician Carl Strout, one of the operators of this compact pedestrian truck, which is used primarily to exchange the bolster plates on the tooling presses. He commented: “It’s the best bit of kit we’ve had here for the job…Training on it was straightforward, it’s simple to operate and all-round visibility makes for easy handling of loads. It’s also multi-purpose – I have used it for other lifting jobs too.” The Combi-CS, with 1000kg capacity, replaced a conventional forklift and was recommended by Mike Oseland following the successful introduction of a Combilift pedestrian model at one of ASSA ABLOY’s other sites: “These stackers are a great alternative to ride-on forklifts as they can manoeuvre much more easily around narrow confines such as those between the presses and other workstations here on site.” He added: “Operation at walking speed enhances health and safety, particularly in busy manufacturing areas where a lot of personnel are in the vicinity. The patented tiller arm on these models also ensures that operators can stand to the side of the machine to avoid any crush risk when they are working in tight spaces.” For further information please visit: www.combilift.com Building Business Efficiency www.hartdoors.com info@hartdoors.com Internal and external rolling doors to improve your operations.
