Cold store trucks need top service
June 1st 2008 Chiltern Cold Storage &
Distribution has expanded
its fleet of Atlet warehouse
trucks with another two
Tergo UHS double-deep
trucks and five Presto PLP
powered pallet transporters
to work in a new cold store.
The company configured the
new 5568 pallet warehouse
for double-deep operations
to maximise storage
capacity. The new trucks
bring the fleet at CCSD to
seven reach trucks, 16 rideon
powered pallet
transporters and eight
pedestrian-operated
powered pallet transporters.
The relationship with Atlet
started over ten years ago.
"We wanted to equip the
new cold store with the
latest equipment," says Paul
Jackson, founder and md of
Chiltern Cold Storage &
Distribution. "We went to
the open market but stayed
with Atlet because of the
total service they offered
and their track record with
our previous trucks." He
explains further, "What
keeps us with Atlet is their
commitment to service.
When you put a truck in a
minus 25°C cold store it's
going to fail sooner or later
so the choice of supplier is
all about service and
response, first time fix rates
and availability of spares.
Their engineers are the
difference. They visit us
every day for routine tasks
and are just fantastic." More articles from Atlet Limited: |
