Warehouse operators across Australia are feeling the pressure to make every square metre count. As of the second half of 2024, Australia’s national industrial and logistics vacancy rate sat at just 3.21 percent, the lowest globally. Combine that with an average net rent of $267 for a prime property in Sydney2 per square metre each year and it’s clear that squeezing more value from existing space is more important than ever. In this blog post, Bendi Australia will detail how the B320 Articulated Forklift Truck can help warehouses operate smarter and with more flexibility.
Getting More from Every Metre of Your Warehouse
With warehouse space becoming harder to secure and more expensive to maintain, operators need equipment that helps create room rather than consume it. Traditional counterbalance and reach trucks often demand wide aisles, while the Bendi B320 is built specifically for narrow aisle environments. Capable of operating in aisles as tight as 1.9 metres, it opens up layout possibilities that simply can’t be achieved with conventional machinery. For businesses looking to get more from their existing footprint without expensive structural changes or expansion, the Bendi B320 offers a practical path forward.
A Versatile Choice for Tight Spaces
The Bendi B320 is a Battery Electric Multi-Purpose Articulated Forklift Truck capable of handling the demands of modern warehousing where space is limited and efficiency is expected at every turn. This model includes several standout features that support both indoor and outdoor applications. The AC drive provides smooth, low-maintenance operation, while the 1850kg capacity ensures it can manage a broad range of loads without sacrificing manoeuvrability. Add a 10-metre lift height and you’re looking at a forklift that delivers impressive reach even when working in compact environments, helping operators do more with ease.
Key Features That Improve Warehouse Efficiency
One of the major benefits of the Bendi B320 is its ability to outperform traditional equipment setups, particularly when storage density matters. It can achieve greater efficiency than many very narrow aisle installations while remaining adaptable to a wider range of warehouse layouts.
Some of the features that support these outcomes include:
- Articulated mast with 220° rotation
- A patented front wheel drive system that helps deliver reliable traction and smooth articulation
- Dual inside and outside operating capability, making it suitable for mixed environments
- Integral sideshift for precise pallet placement and easy alignment
- An award-winning chassis design that enhances stability during lifting and manoeuvring
Built for Practical Everyday Use
Warehouses need equipment that blends performance with reliability. The Bendi B320’s engineering is designed around real-world use rather than ideal conditions. Its full backwards and forwards tilting mast offers the flexibility needed for different load types and racking systems, simplifying maintenance and day-to-day workflow. Operators won’t need to switch between multiple machines to complete different tasks, as the B320 brings versatility together in one unit, supporting smoother operations with fewer stops and changes.
