Nilkamal as a brand is synonymous with plastics furniture and home products. Did you know the company has a material handling division that makes up more than half its sales?

  Nilkamal’s material handling solutions enable factory and warehouse operators to protect their products, increase their storage, and improve their labour productivity.

Two such solutions from Nilkamal are:
• Aisle-Master Narrow Aisle Truck in a heavy-duty selective pallet rack, and
• Combilift Multi-directional Side-loader Truck to handle long loads in a cantilever rack or an open yard.

Aisle-Master Articulated Forklift Truck helps customers to store palletised goods in very narrow aisle’s of 2.1 metres, at heights of up to 12.4 metres in heavy duty-metal selective pallet racks which are designed, manufactured and assembled adhering to European FEM Standards by Nilkamal BITO Storage Solutions.
Key features of Aisle-Master Trucks
• Designed and manufactured by Combilift in Ireland
• Sturdy, low maintenance and best in class throughputs for improved productivity and lower downtimes.
• AC motor drive and LPG options with lift capacities up to 2.5 tonnes are available.
• Large super elastic tyres enable to truck to doubles as a forklift for outdoor use.
• Heated Cabin option to operate continuously in cold stores up to (-) 25 C. Narrow aisle increases pallet positions, and lowers overall refrigeration and operating cost per pallet.
• Ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue and maximise visibility. Full view of both the forks and the load.
• Integral side shift fitted as standard.
• Pre-height selector option so forks quickly rise to the desired level to store or retrieve pallets.
• Operator training available as an option.

Aisle-Master Truck vs other options
• Counter-balance forklift trucks require approximately 50 per cent more space to manoeuvre. Aisle-Master can operate in aisles which are 30 per cent narrower than reach trucks.
• Aisle-Master can carry out regular forklift duties such as loading of trucks. Reach trucks are not suitable for outdoors.
• Very narrow aisle and turret trucks cannot be driven outside, have high maintenance and operating costs, require expensive guide wires or rails to installed in the floor, and require expensive floors.
• A double deep storage solution provides only half the selectivity. This is challenging where demand is usually unpredictable and seasonal. Increase in storage comes with compromising on throughputs when the operator has to clear the first pallet to select the second pallet.

Key features of Combilift
• The Combilift is an all-wheel drive multidirectional forklift.
• It is a unique combination of forklift, side loader and reach truck that can operate both indoors and outdoors.
• It is a safe, cost effective and space saving solution to handle long and heavy awkward loads.
• Combilift is available in electric, diesel and LPG variants.

Nilkamal design and provide an optimised cantilever storage system through its India based sales and manufacturing JV with BitoLagertechnik, Germany.
Combilift vs other options
• Combilift multidirectional truck takes less manoeuvring space in a warehouse or yard, is a lot quicker, and is significantly safe at lifting, storing, retrieving, and moving long load products in higher throughout applications.
• Combilift multidirectional truck does not require an overhead gantry or supporting frame, and can move freely in a less space inside a factory or warehouse as well as outside in a yard. It is significantly quicker and safer in higher throughout applications.
