Combilift cuts unloading times
June 1st 2010

Gloucestershire-based Architectonic Systems supplies aluminium window and door systems. To keep pace with the volume of raw materials and finished product passing through the warehouse, Architectonics has replaced an old and unreliable articulated forklift with a 4-way Combilift truck. The resulting improvements in handling and storage procedures have been impressive according to operations manager, Mark Greening.

"Apart from the operational unreliability of our old machine, there were other drawbacks – we could only offload and transport one stillage at a time for example," says Mark. "The Combilift's 2.5t capacity enables us to lift two or even three stillages in one go, cutting the time spent offloading an incoming delivery from three or four hours down to just one – this has really boosted productivity.

The truck is also incredibly compact, and we can operate it in our existing narrow aisles, so there was no disruption of the warehouse layout when we took delivery."
