When injection moulding
manufacturer,McKechnie
Plastic Components
introduced tooling weighing
up to 12,000kg with a
footprint of 2m2, a new
handling solution was needed
to move the new equipment
and existing medium sized
tools between the production
area and tool room.

Following detailed
discussions with the ROBUR
technical team and Stanley
Handling, a dedicated
specification that would suit
all McKechnie’s tool sizes and
permit access around the
site’s narrow gangways and
restricted spaces was drawn
up. The 12,000kg powered
pallet truck was designed,
manufactured and delivered
in 16 weeks.
