50% more storage
June 1st 2008 Increasing demand for
Magners cider has led to
rapid expansion of the
Company's Clonmel site in
Ireland. Keeping the supplies
flowing is crucial and
Magners has chosen a fleet
of eight Aisle-Master
articulated forklifts which
work in the bottling plants,
as well as in the finished
goods warehouses, to ensure
streamlined handling,
storage and distribution.
The company previously
used counterbalance forklifts
and drive-in racking, but the
increase in output meant
logistics operations
manager, Raymond Galligan
needed a more space saving
and efficient method.
He says "We had to
maximise our warehouse
space. Aisle widths with the
counterbalance were 4m,
and we knew we could
improve on this. The Aisle-
Masters have enabled us to
achieve a 50% increase in
storage capacity, so have
saved us money as there is
no need to buy extra storage
space." More articles from Aisle-Master Ltd: |
