Alliance Flooring Distribution has
improved materials handling
performance at its warehouse in
Kidderminster by working closely
with Atlet. Storage capacity has been
maximised and the time products
spend on site before delivery to
customers minimised.

The fleet supplied by Atlet includes
eight reach trucks which handle 4
and 5m carpet rolls weighing as
much as 450kg, at heights up to 10m.

A special steel boom mounted on the
truck’s modified carriage is inserted
into the centre of the roll, which is
then handled between special deepracking
storage and order assembly
areas.
