Later this autumn, two new rider platform powered pallet trucks will be introduced to the market as part of an on-going programme of product development and enhancement for Doosan's high-performance warehouse truck range.

Also at IMHX which was held in the UK in September, Doosan unveiled new versatile, 1.5-tonne capacity electric pallet truck - the BPSC15E-7 lateral drive, which has a built-in charger, long-life batteries and a compact chassis for extra manoeuverability. 

Further upgraded models making their debut at the show included a comprehensive range of five pedestrian stacker trucks in capacities from 1.0 - 2.0 tonne, a 1.8-tonne pedestrian double stacker (BDL13S-7) and a 2.0-tonne platform double stacker (BDR13S-7).

The warehouse range is fully supported by Doosan's worldwide service network and backed-up by genuine Doosan parts - underscoring Doosan's commitment to maximum performance with minimum downtime.

Doosan has also unveiled a 1.5 to 2.0-tonne capacity Lithium-ion powered pallet truck, offering excellent acceleration for enhanced productivity and a choice of charging systems - either direct or by easy removal of the battery. Fully-recharged within 2 - 2.5 hours, the battery offers an average of three hours of operation and supports boost charging at any time. 

David Clarkson, CEO, Doosan Industrial Vehicle UK, said, "Productivity within the warehouse is increasingly becoming an important focus for businesses in manufacturing and retail. Labour availability is under pressure and customer expectations for service and delivery are unrelenting, so companies need higher performance materials handling equipment to support their plans for productivity gains."

"The scale and scope of Doosan as a $21 billion global engineering business enables us to make significant, on-going investment into our warehouse product range - bringing design enhancements, new battery and charging technology upgrades, advanced safety features, and a whole range of performance-boosting innovations."

He continued, "Over the coming months we will be introducing a steady stream of warehouse truck upgrades and new models - complementing our extensive range of internal combustion (IC) engine and electric counterbalance trucks. This is all part of a comprehensive remodeling programme that further supports Doosan's position as a powerful brand supplying robust and reliable solutions across a broad spectrum of industrial activity - in the yard, the factory, and the warehouse."
