For cold storage materials handling, Aisle-Master Forklifts stands out among the competition. In 2013, their new cold store model won the UK FLTA’s Award for Excellence over six other shortlisted nominees.

The requirements needing to be met to win this prestigious award were intense. Aisle-Master teamed up with major names in the cold store and temperature controlled warehousing industry to ensure they specifically addressed the issues of operator comfort while improving productivity and running costs.

With a fully enclosed heated cab, the Aisle-Master cold storage forklifts ensure drivers keep warm throughout their entire shift, reducing the need for regular breaks. Heated windows eliminate condensation when driving between different temperatures. A powerful 930 amp battery prevents possible draining of power even during prolonged operation, and low energy LED work lights are standard with every unit.

The FLTA had a glowing review of Aisle-Master’s new design. “When space comes at a premium, flexible solutions are needed. Combining the capabilities of narrow aisle fork lift with the protection offered by a fully enclosed cold store cab, the articulated Aisle-Master cold store model ensures maximum efficiency – even at minus thirty degrees.”
