Boom for capacity

Alliance Flooring Distribution has improved materials handling performance at its warehouse in Kidderminster by working closely with Atlet. Storage capacity has been maximised and the time products spend on site before delivery to customers minimised.

The fleet supplied by Atlet includes eight reach trucks which handle four and five metre carpet rolls weighing as much as 450kg at heights up to 10m. A special steel boom mounted on the truck's modified carriage is inserted into the centre of the roll, which is then handled between special deep-racking storage and order assembly areas.
