New CESAB B215ii Electric Forklift Supports BEW’s Ashford Warehouse Operations
As part of our continued partnership with BEW Electrical Distributors, Fork Truck Direct recently supplied a brand-new CESAB B215ii 3-wheel electric forklift truck to support operations at BEW’s Ashford branch. Designed to deliver exceptional manoeuvrability, energy efficiency, and operator comfort, the CESAB B215ii is ideally suited to the demands of modern warehouse and distribution environments. This latest investment reflects BEW’s commitment to future-proofing its material handling operations, ensuring the Ashford depot has the reliability, performance, and productivity required to support long-term growth. By introducing advanced electric forklift technology into the branch, BEW is reducing operational costs, improving sustainability, and enhancing warehouse efficiency, while benefiting from the ongoing service and support provided by Fork Truck Direct. The delivery further strengthens a partnership spanning more than two decades, helping BEW maintain a high-performing and dependable logistics network across the UK.
A Trusted Partnership with CESAB
As a member of the Toyota Material Handling Group, CESAB has earned a strong reputation for manufacturing reliable, efficient, and high-quality forklift trucks for warehouse and logistics operations worldwide. At Fork Truck Direct, our long-standing relationship with CESAB allows us to provide customers across Kent, Sussex, Essex, Suffolk, London, and the wider South East with material handling equipment that delivers outstanding performance, reliability, and long-term value. This partnership enables us to match customers with forklift solutions that support productivity, efficiency, and future business growth.
Why the CESAB B215ii Stands Out
The CESAB B215ii is a highly versatile 1.5-tonne, 3-wheel electric forklift truck designed for busy warehouse and distribution environments. Its compact chassis and tight turning radius make it ideal for operating within narrow aisles, loading areas, and confined spaces where manoeuvrability is essential. Combining strong lifting performance with exceptional operator comfort and visibility, the B215ii helps businesses maximise warehouse efficiency while maintaining safe and productive operations.
Proven Lead-Acid Technology for Distribution Operations
For businesses operating standard shift patterns, lead-acid electric forklifts remain one of the most dependable and cost-effective material handling solutions available. The CESAB B215ii utilises proven lead-acid battery technology alongside advanced AC motors, regenerative braking, and intelligent energy management systems to deliver reliable performance throughout the working day. The result is lower operating costs, reduced emissions, quieter operation, and a strong return on investment compared to traditional internal combustion forklift trucks.
Supporting Long-Term Distribution Growth at BEW Ashford
The delivery of a new CESAB B215ii to BEW Electrical Distributors’ Ashford branch represents a strategic investment in the depot’s future productivity and operational resilience. As part of a partnership spanning more than 23 years and approximately 30 BEW depots across the UK, Fork Truck Direct continues to provide forklift trucks, servicing, maintenance, and material handling expertise that help keep BEW’s distribution network moving efficiently. With ongoing support from our team, the new CESAB B215ii will play an important role in enhancing warehouse efficiency, reducing downtime, and supporting the continued growth of the Ashford depot for years to come.
