NTP Forklifts provides Westaflex with Jungheinrich EKX stacker retriever

WESTAFLEX Australia has rebuilt its plastic manufacturing division and warehousing facility with the help of equipment from NTP Forklifts Australia.

Westaflex Australia had experienced a total loss fire in 2005, but the new facility has risen from the ashes at the same site in West Heidelberg, Victoria.

NTP Forklifts Australia says the site now employs robotised blow moulding and injection moulding equipment, as well as a Jungheinrich EKX high rack stacker-retriever.

NTP Forklifts Australia says the Jungheinrich EKX high rack stacker-retriever features RFID transponder floor control.

The truck can be programmed with varied parameters at any position of any aisle. This includes lift height limits with or without travel restrictions, various speed reductions or stops at any point in the aisle, and end of aisle protection.

According to NTP Forklifts Australia, the Jungheinrich EKX high rack stacker-retriever has a Personnel Protection System which is integrated with the truck’s dual computer control network.

The PPS uses a laser to detect pedestrians or obstacles in the aisle, automatically applying a speed reduction to the truck and then an automatic stop if collision is imminent.
