Space-saving recipe August 1st 2009 A leading Irish chilled convenience
food manufacturer, Nature's Best,
had a lot on its plate towards the end
of 2008 when a major new contract
prompted a move to a new
warehouse. The requirement to pack
as many pallet spaces as possible into
the space available was met using an
AC electric powered Aisle-Master
articulated forklift.
Transport and logistics manager
Ciaran Finn and maintenance
manager Anthony Carolan contacted
Aisle-Master after seeing the forklift
in operation.
Finn says "Rather than having to
build an extension or move some of
our storage outside, we realised that
we would be much better off with
the Aisle-Master. Its articulated
design and manoeuvrability lends
itself perfectly to space saving and
more productive operation."
Basing aisle-widths and racking
layout on the capabilities of the
Aisle-Master has yielded 600 pallet
spaces, compared with the 235 that
could have been achieved with a
counterbalance truck. More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
