Talent in Logistics and UniCarriers alliance continues and this time at IMHX. Their relationship makes perfect sense as both organisations are focused on improving forklift truck operating conditions. Recently, Talent in Logistics, announced the winner of the Forklift Operator of the Year 2019 sponsored by international forklift truck manufacturer, UniCarriers – congratulations to Kris Scarborough from Wilko.
The Forklift Operator Challenge will take place at the Talent in Logistics stand 6B190. Entrants will need to register first at the UniCarriers stand 6A180. To take part, one has to be a qualified counterbalance lift truck operator and provide proof of that on-site. Before the challenge, UniCarriers will familiarise each entrant with the truck.
Ruth Edwards, Business Development Director of Talent in Logistics says: “Forklift operators have a challenging role and don’t always get highly recognised for the tough job they do. The reason we put on our competitions is to celebrate those talented individuals and encourage them to continue with their safe and efficient operations.”
“This year’s competition was our most successful yet, and so it seemed the perfect time to partner up with UniCarriers once again to host a live challenge at IMHX. The challenge will add an interactive element to this industry leading exhibition, whilst encouraging future operators and their line managers to enter our 2020 competition and showcase the great skills that they have.”
Chris Bates, Sales Director at UniCarriers UK, comments: “The Talent in Logistics team always creates visually intriguing driver challenges. Our event at IMHX will not only test the competitors’ skills from the very start but will also provide the audience with a vibrant spectacle.”
By registering with UniCarriers, visitors to IMHX 2019 will have a chance to operate the award-winning electric counterbalance truck TX3 and sample its award-winning features. Talent in Logistics will host a couple of challenges, similar to those that the Forklift Operator of the Year experience.
The 3-wheel electric counterbalance truck TX3 won first place in the Counter Balanced Truck category at this year’s International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award.
The TX3 range includes counterbalance trucks with a lifting capacity of 1.25 to 2 tonnes and a lifting height of up to 7 metres. In March, the IFOY testers subjected the truck and its competitors to a series of practical tests, evaluating above all how innovative the vehicles were. The ergonomic features of the TX3 were particularly noteworthy, above all the floating armrest with the mini steering wheel for a natural posture. According to the test results, this can have a positive effect on the health of drivers during continuous operation. This reinforces UniCarriers’ long-standing principle that the driver is at the centre of attention.
As far as safety is concerned, the testers emphasised the windows in the front panel, which are unique on the market to date. With them, UniCarriers improves visibility of the fork tips and the front corners of the load for precise and safe handling of goods. The entire design of the chassis and mast is based on UniCarriers’ ProVision concept, which provides a 360° panoramic view when driving. According to the IFOY testers, the TX3 is also comfortable, safe and easy to operate thanks to further details such as the low entry step and the automatic all-electric brake – in short: “very well constructed”, as the test report says. The TX3 has already received the Red Dot Design Award 2018 for its special combination of design and functionality. And with the IFOY Award 2019 it now continues its success story.
UniCarriers offer a complete solution for your business, covering service, fleet information, health & safety, training, tools, equipment and financing.
