Precise positioning of liquid loads
December 1st 2008 Chilled distribution specialist,
Langdons, was so pleased
with the service and support
received from Atlet, that the
company was chosen to
deliver a 'complete package'
for operations at Gerber Juice
Company in Somerset. Atlet
has supplied a fleet of
warehouse trucks to a very
precise specification, and
designed and built the
battery management and
handling systems at the
Bridgwater distribution
centre run by Langdons.
Atlet delivered eight of its
Forte UHS reach trucks with
9.9m masts and carriage
sideshift to support precise
load positioning – essential
when handling dynamic
liquid loads at height.
To enhance truck safety in
the narrow drive-in racking
Atlet suggested fitting guide
wheels to the outer front
edge of the support legs and
rear corners of the chassis.
Atlet's engineers also devised
and installed "sacrificial"
brass slide bars along each
side of the truck to provide
additional guidance without
damaging the steel rails at
the base of the racking. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
