🚚 Third-Party Logistics & Distribution Centres
Mixed pallet types, 24-hour shifts and constant truck loading — 3PL warehouses need trucks that never stop and are cheap to maintain.
The challenge: Mixed single-faced and double-faced pallets in the same racking; frequent truck loading without a dock leveller; drivers of varying skill.
How we solve it:
- Reach stackers for narrow-aisle put-away
- Riding stackers for fast order picking
- Pallet trucks with quick-swap batteries for round-the-clock shifts
- Counterbalance stackers (legless) for direct truck loading
❄️ Cold Chain & Frozen Food
Sub-zero temperatures destroy ordinary batteries, hydraulic oil and electronics. Cold-store trucks are built differently.
The challenge: Battery capacity collapses below −20 °C; condensation shorts out standard electronics; hydraulic oil becomes too thick to lift smoothly; steel frames rust.
How we solve it:
- Low-temperature LiFePO4 battery with heating
- IP67 sealed three-electric system
- Cold-grade hydraulic oil and heated tank
- Rust-proof frame treatment and sealed connectors
⚗️ Chemical, Petrochemical & Explosive Environments
One spark in a solvent store or ammunition depot is catastrophic. Every electrical component must be explosion-proof certified.
The challenge: Flammable vapour or explosive dust present; ordinary motors, switches and connectors are ignition sources; static electricity builds on the forks.
How we solve it:
- Ex db ib mb sb certified motors, controllers and instruments
- Conductive towing strap to discharge static
- Forks treated against mechanical sparks
- Explosion-proof connectors throughout
🏭 Manufacturing & Production Lines
Line-side feeding has to be minutes-accurate. Trucks must be compact, quiet and safe around people.
The challenge: Tight spaces between machines; pedestrians and trucks sharing aisles; frequent short movements that wear out manual equipment.
How we solve it:
- Compact walking stackers for line-side buffer
- Turtle-speed fine positioning
- Electric drive — zero emissions, safe indoors
- AGV for unmanned night-shift feeding
📦 E-Commerce & High-Bay Warehousing
Racking keeps getting taller and aisles narrower. Standard forklifts simply cannot reach.
The challenge: Aisle width below 2 m; racking above 6 m; throughput measured in picks per hour; land cost pushing density up.
How we solve it:
- Three-way and four-way forklifts for VNA racking
- Reach trucks with mast travel
- Man-up order pickers for high-bay picking
- AGV reach forklifts for lights-out storage
🏗️ Construction, Yard & Outdoor
Mud, gravel, rain and rough ground break warehouse trucks. You need rough-terrain capability and real ground clearance.
The challenge: Unpaved surfaces and potholes; outdoor storage exposed to weather; heavy building materials on non-standard pallets.
How we solve it:
- All-terrain 2WD / 4WD forklifts
- Off-road electric stackers with solid rubber tyres
- Heavy-duty diesel forklifts 3–5 t
- Customised trucks for bricks, pipes and cylinders
🥫 Food, Beverage & Pharmaceutical
Hygiene rules mean wash-down areas, stainless steel and no contamination risk.
The challenge: Daily wash-down corrodes ordinary paint and steel; food-grade lubricants required; strict traceability and cleanability.
How we solve it:
- Full stainless steel pallet trucks
- IP65 wash-down rated electronics
- Food-grade hydraulic oil option
- Plastic pallets for hygiene zones
