Atlet Delivers Saving to Kingfield Heath
Business supplies wholesaler Kingfield Heath estimates that the switch to Atlet warehouse trucks has already saved more than £17,000 at its Lutterworth distribution centre. The replacement programme was designed to improve performance and reliability.
Atlet supplied seven Omni DCR man-rising combination stacker pickers, five ErgoPicker OPS high level order pickers, eleven Forte UHS reach trucks, twelve Presto PLP pallet transporters, seven counterbalance trucks, thirteen Atlet low level order pickers and two Atlet PLL pedestrian pallet transporters.
The warehouse operates three shifts, five days a week, more during seasonal peaks driven by catalogue launches and other promotions. Incoming pallets are handled using counterbalance trucks before being transferred to storage areas using Atlet Piccolo PLL pedestrian and Presto PLP ride-on powered pallet transporters. The Atlet Forte UHS reach trucks handle loads into wide and narrow aisle racking while order picking is completed using the pallet transporters and the man rising ErgoPicker OPM order picker and Omni DCR combination pallet stacker/order pickers. Wide aisle storage is used for bulky and slower moving items such as flat packed office furniture while narrow aisles are used for faster moving items which can be picked for immediate despatch.
