Customised Aisle Master Forklift Hire in Durham
At Permatt Fork Lift Trucks Ltd, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored material handling solutions that meet the precise needs of our clients. In this case study, we highlight the recent delivery of a customised Aisle Master forklift in Durham for a valued returning customer. This project showcases the adaptability of our forklift range and the value-added services we provide, including leasing and comprehensive maintenance packages.
Tailored Forklift Solution for a Returning Durham Customer
Our client in Durham required a solution to handle specific, non-standard loads in a high-density warehouse environment. Having worked with us previously, they returned with confidence in our expertise and product range. After consultation, we supplied a new Aisle Master articulated forklift, expertly modified to feature a wider carriage to accommodate their unique load dimensions safely and efficiently.
The Aisle Master forklift is renowned for its ability to operate in narrow aisles while offering excellent lift capacity and visibility — perfect for busy warehouses where space is at a premium.
Enhanced Safety Features: Blue Spot and Red Line Lights
Safety remains a top priority in any warehouse operation. To ensure maximum operator and pedestrian awareness, this Aisle Master was equipped with:
- Blue spot lights – projecting a visible beam ahead of the truck to alert pedestrians.
- Red line lights – casting visible side borders to enhance spatial awareness in shared work areas.
These visual alerts significantly reduce the risk of accidents, particularly in blind spots or low-visibility zones, ensuring a safer work environment for all.
Five-Year Lease with Full Maintenance
To support the long-term operational needs of the client, this forklift was delivered under a five-year lease agreement, complete with a full maintenance package. This flexible arrangement provides peace of mind, predictable costs, and the assurance of prompt servicing and support from Permatt’s expert engineers.
Our leasing plans are ideal for businesses looking to optimise cash flow while maintaining high-performance equipment with no compromise on reliability.
Why Choose an Aisle Master Forklift?
The Aisle Master range is designed to boost efficiency in narrow aisle applications, allowing users to make the most of every square metre in their warehouse. Key benefits include:
- Narrow aisle operation (as small as 1.6 metres)
- Exceptional lift heights
- Increased storage capacity
- Driver comfort and safety
- Reliable electric performance
With the added bonus of customisation, Aisle Masters are a perfect choice for businesses with specific operational challenges.
