Updated Low-Level Order Pickers from Linde

Updated Low-Level Order Pickers from Linde

New Trucks
Linde Material Handling is renewing its order-picking truck range, claiming the most comprehensive product portfolio in the industry. Eight new models of the Linde N20 C low-level order picker are the first to be launched. They ensure comfortable, safe and above all cost-efficient order picking in the load range between 1.2 and 2.5 tons. From home improvement stores to food wholesalers, from the automotive industry to contract logistics, the picking of goods is a core task in every warehouse. It’s also a very cost-intensive one, due to the high proportion of manual activities involved. Linde says it has attached particular importance to user support when developing its new trucks: Even the standard versions of these order pickers, which can reach speeds of up to 14 km/h, offer a hig...

Thorough Examination: Beware half measures

Thorough Examination: Beware half measures

Service
Thousands of businesses operating forklift trucks may, unknowingly, be falling foul of the Law over their Thorough Examinations, according to CFTS, the body behind a national standard for the Thorough Examination of forklift trucks. CFTS says studies have shown that 93% of managers overseeing lifting operations believe that their Thorough Examination, as the name suggests, checks their entire truck. However, CFTS feels it couldn’t be further from reality. Chairman, Geoff Martin, explains: “Most inspections known as ‘Thorough Examinations’, sadly, don’t live up to their name. Indeed, they tend to cover the bare minimum demanded by LOLER 98, which covers the truck’s lifting mechanism. “For those responsible for ensuring safe operations, that creates a big problem as, under PUWER 98,...
