Order picker enables easy handling
October 1st 2009 Supplier of high performance metals
to the aircraft, aerospace and defence
industries, Castle Metals Aerospace
(CMA) holds over 70,000 different
line items ranging from large sheets of
titanium to 12m lengths of
aluminium extrusion and steel tubing
and bars at its Letchworth site.
To improve the put away and
picking of steel tubing and lengths of
metal bar from pigeon hole
racking at the store, Castle
Metals recently took delivery of
a high level order picker from
Jungheinrich. The machine –
an EKS308 – has been specially
modified with the addition of a
preformed box unit at the side
of the truck to allow loads to be
easily handled by the staff.
With the new truck warehouse
operators can pick and put away the
awkward metal tubing and bars at
heights up to 8m safely and efficiently
and Castle Metals has been able to
reconfigure parts of the store to allow
the full capacity of the warehouse
racking to be used. More articles from Jungheinrich UK Ltd: |
