The manufacturer of the Aisle-Master range of articulated forklifts has announced the introduction of a 5 year / 5,000 hours parts warranty on its new models.

Aisle-Master was a pioneer of LPG power in articulated trucks when it first launched its range ten years ago, and incorporated AC technology as standard into its electric models in 2007. One of the benefits of this has been unrivalled reliability. "We have AC powered units out in the field which have clocked up over 7,000 hours," says MD Martin McVicar, "and we have the utmost confidence in the reliability of the product which is why we have introduced this generous warranty. As most articulated trucks in this market are sold with full maintenance contracts, this will be of great benefit to dealers, who can rest assured that they will not incur unexpected costs."

The recently launched models feature a redesigned operator's cab and controls for improved ergonomics and over-articulation which allows the unit to be operated faster in even narrower aisles. Also new to the range is the narrow 1030 mm chassis 1,500 kg capacity 15E model, able to work in even tighter aisles for more space saving handling and storage operations.
