Complete power management
June 1st 2008 Debenhams specified a
complete power
management solution from
EnerSys for the warehouse
trucks at its new distribution
centre in Peterborough. The
installation includes Hawker
batteries for a range of
warehouse trucks and
incorporates advanced 'call
forward', monitoring,
management and handling
systems that are designed to
maximise the performance
of the fleet over busy
extended shifts and help
ensure a long service life for
the power sources.
"We selected EnerSys
after assessing a number of
potential suppliers on their
ability to design the solution
we needed, the timescales
for implementation, and
previous business
satisfaction as well as cost,"
says Jim Bezzano, central
operations manager at
Spectrum, the retailer's
logistics provider. "We're
very pleased with the
complete package."
The company specified an
initial fleet of warehouse
trucks including eight reach
trucks, seven man-rising
order pickers, sixteen ride-on
pallet trucks and five lowlevel
order pickers. Batteries
were selected under a
separate contract by
competitive tender from a
shortlist of preferred
suppliers including EnerSys. More articles from Enersys Ltd: |
