Getting the drinks in
June 1st 2009 Windsor Komatsu and Access secures a five year contract with Calypso Soft Drinks
Windsor Komatsu and access has
secured a five year contract with
Calypso Soft Drinks – and is now
its preferred supplier for all materials
handling needs.
The order includes two Komatsu FG30's,
three Komatsu FG25's, four Komatsu FG18,
two Komatsu FB15M three wheel electric
counterbalance forklift trucks and four
Komatsu warehouse machines.
After initial consultation and a site survey
it was deemed that the Komatsu FG30's
fitted with double pallet handlers were the
appropriate trucks to enable the site to
vastly decrease load times and reduce fuel
consumption. The main contributory factor
here was Komatsu's tandem hydraulic
pump. This, claims Windsor, gives possibly
the fastest lifting speeds in its class when
idling, negating the need for high engine
revving when lifting and stacking, reducing
fuel usage and emissions.
The FG18 Komatsu trucks were required
for the drive in racking in the warehouse.
These trucks were fitted with Davis Derby
truck log systems and modified overhead
guards to reduce operator damage.
Calypso says it chose Windsor Komatsu
above alternative suppliers due to its
professionalism and experience during
negotiations. Windsor Komatsu says its
local depots with direct lines to a
dedicated service manager minimise
response times and downtime – and
results in an in-depth understanding of
individual needs. More articles from Windsor Engineering (Hull) Ltd: |
