STILL can also do forklift trucks ‘with extras’
Customised STILL forklift truck for real-life inclusion
A specially designed forklift truck enables Patrick Mattern, an employee of small stature at Voss Edelstahl, to work safely and independently in the warehouse. The key feature is an electrically adjustable driver's platform that can be individually adjusted and flexibly used by other colleagues.
The enthusiastic employee may be small in stature, but his forklift movements are as routine and efficient as those of any other driver in the team. This was made possible by a joint project between Voss Edelstahl, STILL and Barrus Engineering.
A forklift truck like no other
"For me, this isn't just a forklift truck. It's my workplace, my tool and my independence," says Patrick Mattern. Thanks to the customised, electrically adjustable driver's platform, he sits perfectly - with a clear view, direct access to all controls and full control of the vehicle. "I feel safe, fast and fully integrated into the company's operations.
Inclusion put into practice
The special vehicle was officially handed over to Voss in September 2024. Since then it has been in daily use, both for Patrick Mattern and his colleagues. This is because the platform can be returned to its standard height at any time at the push of a button.
