More storage capacity
September 1st 2010 United Coffee UK has increased
storage capacity by 56% by
reconfiguring racking and
introducing Atlet Forte reach trucks.
Storage and handling operations have
been optimised at the company's
Milton Keynes distribution centre to
meet the requirements of its
dramatic business growth.
Working with the team from
United Coffee UK, Atlet assessed a
number of options and used its
Logistics Analyser Program to
simulate various racking
configurations, including narrow
aisle and double deep. Double deep
offered the potential to maximise
storage capacity but did not support
the selectivity and throughput
required for this particular
application. So Atlet proposed two of
its Forte reach trucks which could
operate in 2.5m aisles and handle full
1400kg loads to the maximum 6.3m
of the highest proposed racking
beam.
The two new Forte trucks were
supplied by Atlet with weather cabs
so that they could, when needed,
operate outside to supplement a
counterbalance used for vehicle
loading. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
