Yale Double Deep Reach Truck – Optimising Space and Time in modern cold store warehousing

As warehousing operations are coming under intensifying pressure to perform to support growing demands of the omni-channel customers, new operating strategies is the key to enable this transformation. Whether in manufacturing, wholesale distribution or in retail, Task and Space Optimisation are critical components of the supply chain. This requires optimum material handling equipment to serve the purpose and increase efficiency and productivity to meet the heightened customer expectations. Need for a superior customer experience is driving a massive transformation in various industries today and undergoing huge pressure on costs and hence improving productivity has become an imperative.

Modern cold store warehouses are opting for double-deep stacking, both cold and dry store facilities, where multiple pallets of the same products must be stored and high product turnover rates are conducive to the FILO (First In Last Out) principle.

The double deep storage upsurges warehouse capacity by up to 30% compared to “single-deep” warehouse manoeuvres, allowing the lift truck to access all double-deep storage spaces from a single aisle. It has become a very popular choice in “high throughput” operations as it maximizes space utilization and improves storage density in order to help reduce operational costs, but has a range of challenges, which needs to be dealt with.

Maini Materials Movement, a premium player in material handling and warehousing equipment for last three decades, brings Yale range of products in India. Yale double deep reach trucks are designed specifically for demanding applications with greater lift and travel speeds and higher lift heights. It permits operators to be seated, lean or stand with optimum flexibility. Double-deep reach trucks reach twofold as deep as average forks and has competency of handling two pallets from the same side of the aisle leading toc improved accessibility, saving up to 30% floor space.

Key attributes of Yale double deep reach trucks:
