Warehouse goals achieved
December 1st 2005 When Everton Football Club relocated its warehouse operations in early 2004 it needed to store as much as possible in the available space. It turned to Atlet for advice on the best approach and the result was installation of double deep racking and an Atlet XTF extending forks reach truck.
The combination has provided 336 pallet locations instead of the 168 that would have been possible had conventional racking been used. The warehouse stores all of the merchandising and souvenirs sold by Everton at its Megastores at Goodison and in Liverpool city centre.
The stand-on XTF is the most compact reach truck manufactured by Atlet. It is designed to operate in the narrowest possible aisles, enabling maximum space for the racking.
Operators at the facility undertake a number of tasks so they are on and off the truck throughout the shift.
The use of a stand-on unit makes this easier. Atlet also recommended low profile straddle legs as this allows the bottom beam to be as low as possible for optimum use of available space. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
