Looking at the long term
May 1st 2008 Business growth for Laura
Ashley meant 24/6
operations to meet delivery
commitment, placing added
pressure on existing trucks
at its Coalville distribution
centre. Atlet suggested 10
of its high performance
Presto PLP powered pallet
transporters in conjunction
with the latest battery
facilities would offer the best
solution without the need to
reconfigure the warehouse.
"Atlet was not the cheapest
on initial price, it was the
most cost effective over the
life of the contract," says
Ivan Bere, warehouse
manager at Laura Ashley
logistics.
"Atlet took time to find out
about our operations and
where we thought we would
be in five years," says Bere.
"This is a big investment for
us and we realised that
simple, robust and reliable
trucks would offer the best
option."
The Presto PLP is a high
performance powered pallet
transporter for fast and
efficient handling over longer
distances and extended
working hours. It is designed
for stand-on operations but
can be pedestrian controlled
to support a wide range of
picking operations from
single item to full pallet. It
has a powerful AC motor.
Atlet also incorporated
high frequency chargers and
single point top-up facilities
to ensure battery efficiency. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
