I am proud to say, Eastern is a great company to interact with. I work at Home Depot, and we use Yale forklifts the 60 and 80vx in our lumber dept, they are workhorses. the tech that was out recently for our PM, he was extremley knowledgeable, and helped to answer questions I had as an operator to help keep our lifts in good shape. truly a dealer worth the Yale Dealer of Excellence award!
Get off the forklift now. Yall (ppl who lie about have forklift experience) are making it harder for those of us with actual experience. Not to mention, yall tear to much sh1t up.
I've driven cb, rt, vna, all kinds of ppts, stackers but this one by far is my favourite. At my current job I drive aisle master with just 600hrs on the clock and it is well assembled and super responsive with very reasonably set up hydraulics. It is very powerful as well. In my warehouse there is no pallet too heavy for this thing. I love it!
Yes you can. I've got reach and cb licence of my own and just got a jib where the company up skilled me to an aisle master. It took one and half day for instructor to teach me what are the differences and how to drive it. The principle in 80% is common with counterbalance and reach. You just need to learn how to pivot that thing, how to go around corners and what does the triangle of stability looks like when bent. The rest is all the same.
@@panczenPL did you do the figure of 8 lesson and the other ones built from pallets? Had a great time learning on these and they are really that good! They basically remove the need of most trucks when it comes to aisles.
@@jigzonyt517 yeah I was trained on aisle master. 8tonne monster going up to 10mph. I did the figure of 8 and the chicane. It needed 15 centimetres of spare space on each side to line up with a pallet and the one I drive can lift 1 tonne of 11 metres and is equipped with fork cam too. Fantastic thing to drive. My next target is telescopic truck.
I've driven both and 100% prefer the Aisle master over the bendi but then again the bendi we have is an old model. The aisle master is my favourite machine i've ever driven by a longshot though. Could potentially help identify any differences if you know the model of your bendi
just keep in mind while you are working on lift trucks that 20 people have been on sneezing and coughing all over, in this time of covid 19. if you get sick and die life insurance will not pay out during times of pandemics.. be safe out there!
I use one of these at work. And completely agree. I drive sit down propane forklifts 90% of the time, but occasionally have to hop on this to get product sit down ones can’t reach. Tbh it hurts my knee (which already isn’t the greatest) and my feet the most. 😕
Been a field tech. For 28 years...great when you're young but as you age gets a bit tougher.....being here in New England the winter is tough!! The shop guys are warm and dry!!!! But then again being on the road has it's benefits as well...... company van... you are your boss at least where I am employed...and no GPS!!! Do what I want!!!!
I worked for this company for 30 years until my retirement in June 2018. It was the best company I have ever been associated with. A family feel from day one. Sure there are isolated problems, as there would be any where, but I never saw any favoritism at the main branch. I can probably count on one hand, the amount of people who left employment here, for something better. I have seen Eastern Lift grow from one branch with about a hundred people to the powerhouse it is today, 16+ branches with a thousand employed. Keep up the great work. I miss the good old days.
I worked at this company many years, interacting with most of the technicians. I have to say, this video does not depict how the technicians are really treated. there is a lot of favoritism, and some with many years with the company are not treated fairly.
mary kay - We're sorry you feel this way. If you actually worked at Eastern Lift Truck Co. in the past, you know we do not accept favoritism and while we're not perfect, we do strive to make our company a safe, enjoyable and fair place for all to work. There are more than 400 service technicians currently working here and they average 15 years experience. We think that speaks volumes about our company.
