With it’s head office in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire and production operations in the Forest of Dean, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Rackham Housefloors is a nationwide volume producer of pre-stressed concrete floor systems.
The primary production mover for Rackham Housefloors is the Bulmor Lancer sideloader design and when the time came to renew the fleet the company carefully researched the market. Given the restrictions on aisle widths, storage space and the fragile nature of the product Rackham Housefloors wanted a truck that was kind to the product, the operator and the environment. Which in meaningful specification terms means – no breakages, no bumpy rides, low noise and no black smoke.
After extensive trials the machine that fitted the demanding requirements of their application was the Bulmor Lancer LQ 50 offering impressive lifting height of 5000mm and platform width of 1200mm. Key factors in the management’s decision – making process in ordering six new sideloaders were the soft precise nature of the controls, excellent load manouvreability, simple clean burn engines and economic cost of ownership. As Technical Director Roger Varley observes “ They are built to work and in simple terms thats what they will do”.
In comparison to the model 556 sideloaders that they have replaced the LQ 50s are more manouverable (70 degree turning angle), much quieter and have extended 500 hour service intervals. A high quality BEGE full suspension seat and roomy panoramic cab ensures that a comfortable operator is a productive operator. Rexroth transmissions and Perkins clean burn engines provide the backbone to a simple reliable power train. The inclusion of a 10 year manufacturers warranty on the chassis and mast underwrites Bulmor Lancer’s confidence in the strength and inherent reliability of the product.
