Logitrans will unveil a new range of its material-handling kit at Ipex, including the manual and electric 1004 highlifters and an upgraded version of the Logiflex.

The Danish manufacturer said the highlifters can take loads of 1,500kg up to the lifting height of 40cm and 1,000kg above 40cm.
The firm will also launch the new Logiflex stacker with a "quick shift" system.

The stacker comes with a wide range of attachments so the machine can be used for various jobs.

"With a Logiflex it is possible to achieve a bespoke product. It is perfect for small companies," the firm said in a statement.

It is available with a manual or electric lift as well as a range of fork lengths, widths and types. Optional accessories include remote control, electric drum turner, side-tilting forks, weighing system and drum attachments.

"Logiflex is a perfect alternative to an ordinary forklift truck a cost saving alternative that will maximise the workforce," said Logitrans sales and marketing executive Henning Lyager.

Logitrans has also improved its level control equipment with a more sensitive photocell that automates the level of the forks at the set working height.
