Contact provides expertise overseas

The team at Mid Wales-based Contact Attachment was asked by Antwerp-based P. Raymaker & Zoon, distributors of its products across Belgium, to create a bespoke forklift solution for its own client, Brouwerij Girardin, a family-run brewery which was manually handling large 1,000mm diameter barrels on a daily basis. 

The solution for Brouwerij Girardin was a custom-designed Drum Rotator which was large enough to accommodate the brewery’s large barrels, could be easily attached to their existing forklift truck, and help the owner physically handle the company’s beer.

Alexis De Vroey, sales consultant at P. Raymaker & Zoon, said: “I’m pleased to say that the drum rotating attachment is now onsite and working very well. Now they don’t have to risk injury by manually rolling over the barrels, and they have a solution in place that will make the process much quicker and simpler. We have worked with Contact now for many years and find their service and quality of products is excellent. The team’s ability to offer modifications to their standard designs, complete custom design solutions to overcome more challenging handling problems, and the wide range of mechanical lifting attachments, is excellent. Not to mention their competitive pricing.”
