PIVOT STEER (BENDI/FLEXI)

These machines are also known as ‘Flexi’ or ‘Bendi’ machines, Pivot Steer trucks have an articulated mast that makes them multi-functional.

The pivot steer truck resembles a standard forklift with the exception of an additional function to swing the mast to a 90-degree angle to either side by way of the truck being articulated.

Pivot steer trucks are most commonly used within the warehouses with very narrow aisles and high racking systems, however they can also be utilised outside.
