The design of special profiles for materials handling industries requires a profound understanding of the logistics applications. In the forklift applications, especially, the profiles must be able to withstand extreme stresses and strains: lifting equipment for heavy loads, good visibility and stability are all specific functions required in the industrial lift-truck industry. Harder surface of the masts can be obtained through SEM technology. The different profiling processes make it possible to form the material so that it can meet all respective economical, structural and optical conditions.
