Combination pallet stackers/order pickers
June 1st 2007 Heal's has installed narrow
aisle racking and warehouse
trucks from Atlet including
two Omni DCR combination
pallet stackers/order pickers.
Palletised items are stored
more densely than in the
previous warehouse but
with greater load selectivity
so that Heal's can fulfil
orders quickly and with
greater productivity. The
Atlet Omni DCR trucks
operate in the narrow aisle
racking to pick palletised
furniture loads. The truck is
designed to provide users
with a combination of pallet
handling and order picking
capabilities for total
flexibility. The operator rises
with the forks and load
which means they can pick
full pallets or single items
from any storage location.
The forks can traverse
and rotate through 180
degrees quickly so that
pallets can be placed and
retrieved on both sides of
the aisle without turning
the truck round. The Omni
DCR is wire guided in the
aisle which means there are
no rails at ground level to
obstruct access to ground
level pallet locations.
The system operates in
conjunction with the onboard
computer to ensure
the truck's travel speeds are
restricted as it reaches the
aisle end or free ranges in
the rest of the warehouse
for enhanced safety.
The operator has a clear
and unobstructed view of
the load, forks and racking
at all times for consistent
and productive work. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
