Manufacturing

Penton Ltd

Penton UK, a manufacturer of voice alarm and background music systems, was scaling up operations and needed an MHE partner they could rely on as they grew.

What We Provided

THE REASON BEHIND THE SOLUTION

Penton expanded their operation and required handling equipment suited to a heavier workload and a tighter site layout. Their existing reach truck was no longer the right fit.

A Combilift-led demonstration showed that the Aisle Master’s articulated design offered superior narrow-aisle manoeuvrability, improved operator safety, and significantly greater efficiency through the racking.

Transitioning to the Aisle Master 20WHE delivered smoother product flow, reduced congestion in busy aisles, and safer working conditions for the operator across the day.
