Safer stillage storage
November 1st 2006 Profine, a supplier of uPVC extruded window profiles recently opened its 55,000 sq ft warehouse at Fradley Park in Lichfield and wanted to store stillages in a more economical, efficient and safe way. Profine contacted MasterMover and a MasterTug, the MT5/400 now enables one man at Profine UK to pull out an extruded profile stacked in stillages 6 high on rollers weighing 6.5t. Using this system the amount of product that can be stored in the warehouse is far greater without needing to leave space for a conventional forklift. Stefan Seidel, Operations Manager of Profine said "We chose MasterMover because as well as providing a clever solution that worked, it was prepared to customise the equipment specifically for our needs". The MasterTug has 11 models in its range and is capable of pulling and pushing any wheeled or semiwheeled loads from 50kg up to 30,000kg. This versatile machine transfers weight from the load using a manual or hydraulic mast to gain the necessary traction with a range of power capabilities.
