LP Gas Storage & Handling

Articulating Efficient Productivity

The articulated truck has long been promoted as a viable alternative to the traditional combination of a counterbalanced truck to unload and a reach truck to put away palletised loads and, in recent years, more and more fleet operators have been converted to the articulated approach.

The cranes are ideal for delivery, service and engineering applications where operators need to handle gas bottles with reduced risk of damage to the load or vehicle.
