As pioneers of the Articulated Forklift, Bendi have built their business delivering groundbreaking, innovative, space saving forklift trucks since 1964 and with a focus that has always been to design and produce warehouse and materials handling products that are both cost effective and at the very leading edge of our industry.
Each Bendi product has been created by listening to the marketplace and Bendi now have a range of trucks to suit almost any site, layout or budget, working in the narrowest aisles and the highest racking bays. If you need to reduce storage space in order to increase the amount stored, or reduce the space you store it in, there is not a more cost effective way to handle pallets on pallet racking… and especially in Cold Stores!
Cold Comfort with a Twist!
With the cost of storing pallets in a Cold Store being up to 3 times higher than in a conventional ambient warehouse, any small reduction in the space required can dramatically reduce costs. The new Bendi Arctic, with its innovative full cold store cab, can show up to 50% aisle reductions offering huge benefits to cold store costs. Either the size of the cold store can be reduced by 30% or by increasing the number of pallets in the store to spread the same costs.
Smaller cold stores equates to cheaper build cost and reduced running costs and thanks to the innovative design of the Bendi, the floor specification is far less expensive than that of a Reach or VNA machine and also it does not require guidance systems which can be unreliable in cold stores.
The Innovative Bendi Arctic Cab
A cost effective solution that provides the operator with a safe, comfortable working environment and increases productivity through a reduction in the work breaks required for operators in forklifts without cabs.
The Bendi Arctic cab is a departure from normal cab design in that it is a complete standalone unit, sealed off from cold from all sides, connected to the chassis by rubber cab suspension and the fly by wire controls. A 2KW dual stage heater provides the initial heat but the cab is highly insulated to retain heat and maintain operator comfort. The all-round vision is second to none through heated laminated toughened glass.
Heavy-duty door hinges and a secure door locking system provide a seal against the cold that will stand the test of time. Access in and out of the cab is effortless with the optional new Bendi Control Pod that floats to the drivers lap and then tucks away nicely to provide enough room for bulky cold store clothing to be removed and stored behind the driver’s seat if required.
Designed and manufactured in the UK and distributed worldwide, Bendi has ramped up production at the factory in Redditch to accommodate for the Arctic and other new products, and to allow for increasing volume in existing lines both here in the UK and in Export sales.
Other recent additions to the Bendi range include the Bendi Order Picker, the world’s first articulated order picking truck which, amongst other benefits, allows self replenishment; the Mini Bendi pedestrian truck that is much smaller and lighter yet still offers superior levels of safety and functionality and the Bendi Longloader, which can easily and safely accommodate long and awkward loads as well as standard pallets.
