Hard at work in nature's cold store
August 1st 2010 Macks Ølbryggeri AS, the world's
most northerly brewer, has upgraded
the forklift fleet at its warehouse with
Jungheinrich DFG 425-435s IC
engine counterbalanced trucks.
Capable of lifting loads weighing
up to 3500kg,Macks Ølbryggeri's
new forklifts are equipped with multi
pallet handlers that enable several
pallet loads to be handled
simultaneously.
Winter temperatures plummet to
below -40 degrees C in northern
Norway and because the trucks
spend a good deal of time outside
unloading and loading trailers,
Macks Ølbryggeri needed forklifts
that not only offer high throughput
speeds but are also capable of
working in snow and ice.
The Jungheinrich DFG 425-435s
models feature hydrostatic drive
which means they are particularly
suited to highly intensive materials
handling operations and applications
involving a lot of shuttling
operations – such as lorry loading
and unloading in and around a busy
warehouse or yard – making them
ideal for Macks Ølbryggeri's needs.
With an office in Tromso,
Jungheinrich is also able to offer a
high level of after-sales support,
which means an engineer can be at
Macks Ølbryggeri's site – despite its
Arctic Circle location – quickly. More articles from Jungheinrich UK Ltd: |
