McPhersons has added three
Joloda aluminum slatted
Moving Floor trailers to its
fleet which is now around 30
vehicles, to transport barreled
spirits around Scotland. The
trailers were installed and
delivered in January.

McPhersons is a bulk
spirits logistics specialist in
Scotland and Northern
England. It transports for
Chivas and Teachers, among
others.
The Joloda Moving Floor
system is designed to
automatically load and
unload 96 barrels of whisky,
weighing about 23t, in one
shot at the drain and fill site
in Dumbarton.

The plant output equates
to a maximum of 1900 casks
per day with an average of
1500 per day. The moving
floors then unload and load
by fork truck at the remote
bond storage sites by
indexing double stacked
pallets forwards and
backwards with a 10s time
delay controlled by infrared
beams and photo electric
cells.
