BENDI 318 | Use Cases

The Bendi 318 articulated forklift is designed for warehouses that require maximum storage density without sacrificing flexibility. Its articulated steering allows pallet handling in aisles as narrow as 1.6 m while still operating indoors and outdoors. With lift heights up to 9 m and an 1.8-tonne capacity, it enables high-density storage while reducing the space required for traditional counterbalance trucks.

High-Density Warehousing

Storing and retrieving pallets in narrow aisles where maximising available floor space is critical to increasing storage capacity.

Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Facilities

Supporting flexible warehouse layouts where fast pallet access and efficient space utilisation are required for multiple client inventories.

E-Commerce Fulfilment Centres

Handling frequent pallet movements in tight aisle configurations where storage density and quick stock retrieval improve order processing.

Food & Beverage Warehouses

Managing palletised goods in compact racking systems where maximising cold or controlled storage space improves operational efficiency.

Building Supply & Hardware Distribution

Handling bulky palletised materials stored in tall racking while maintaining manoeuvrability in restricted aisle widths.

Mixed Indoor–Outdoor Warehouse Operations

Moving loads between warehouse interiors and yard areas thanks to tyres and drive systems suited to both surfaces.
