Ensures material flow
At stillage manufacturer, JS Burgess Engineering, the role of the sideloader is pivotal: ensuring raw material flow at the factory is as efficient as possible. So when the Derbyshire-based firm was looking to replace its incumbent side loader, after consulting with its local material handling equipment dealer, it decided to switch its sideloader replacement programme to Baumann for the first time.
The Baumann HX40 4t sideloader was supplied by local Baumann dealer, Industrial Truck Services (ITS) from Openshaw in Manchester. JS Burgess is looking to operate its Baumann sideloader over a five year working life, with ITS providing full-service support during this period.
According to JS Burgess managing director, Jonny Patoff, “Quite literally, without the Baumann side loader, our business would soon come to a halt. It’s highly manoeuvrable and versatile, proving to be entirely the right specification for our type of work. We are extremely pleased with its performance so far.
“It easily manoeuvres our raw materials, especially the awkward 2t packs of 7.5m steel lengths, from which we manufacture our stillages and it keeps our manufacturing processes fully supplied.”
