HELPING CUT OUT MANUAL HANDLING December 1st 2004 Equipment from B&B Attachments is used by a UK supermarket chain to eliminate manual handling from its packaging plants.
It has resulted in a quicker, more efficient and cost effective method of breaking down pallet loads.
The supermarket wanted a means of unpacking fresh produce more efficiently.
The solution provided by B&B Attachments was a specially adapted clamp incorporating layer picker and mast. It is used on a wide range of products, including crisps, glass containers and tinned goods.
Used as a stand-alone unit, the attachment can also be adapted for mounting on a forklift truck.
The clamp’s pressure can be adjusted for a range of products and, as it makes contact with the load on all four sides, it requires minimal force to lift and eliminates damage to packaging or product. More articles from B & B Attachments: |
