Visitors to articulated forklift truck technology pioneer Flexi Narrow Aisle's stand 222 at Multimodal 2011 (NEC, Birmingham, 5-7 April) will be able to see how the Flexi range of articulated fork lift trucks has been developed specifically to improve storage, handling and customer order assembly efficiency within manufacturing and logistics operations.

Flexi trucks provide a more space efficient solution by eliminating dead aisle space required by counterbalance or reach trucks. Depending on the building, this can increase usable storage space by between 25 and 50 per cent, making handling operations significantly more efficient and significantly reducing the cost per pallet stored.

Since Flexi Narrow Aisle developed the first Flexi articulated truck in the1990s it has gone on to become the most popular articulated forklift truck in Europe. Over 4000 units have been sold throughout the world and over the past five years the Flexi range has been developed to cover the requirements of customers operating in hugely diverse industries.

Although Flexi Narrow Aisle's clients are involved in the storage and handling of many different products - from foodstuffs to engine parts - they all share at least one common aim: the need to maximize efficiency within their storage operation by making the most of the space that is available.
