Cold Move, specialists in temperature controlled storage and distribution
have chosen Toyota Material Handling UK to provide warehouse trucks to
support their operation.
Cold Move has taken delivery of a new fleet of warehouse trucks designed for
working in cold store environments.
With three depot locations in the North West, Cold Move are able to offer
specialist services in the temperature controlled storage and distribution
sector including; 48 thousand pallet spaces in their state-of-the-art frozen
warehouse, blast freezing and specialist distribution throughout the UK.
The new fleet includes BT Reflex reach trucks and BT Levio powered pallet
trucks. The BT Reflex reach trucks are fitted with cold store cabs which
are carefully designed to provide an effective working environment fully
insulated from the cold conditions. The BT Levio ride-on powered pallet
trucks feature a platform and fixed backrest which offers increased
protection for the operator.
Mike Lythgoe, operations director at Cold Move explains: "During extensive
competitive trials we found the BT Reflex reach truck with cold store cab
surpassed our expectations in terms of design, innovation, all round
visibility and overall quality compared to the other trucks we trialled.
The improved specification on the ride-on powered pallet trucks with fixed
backrests, powered steering and battery change capability are also helping
us to improve our productivity".
Graham Wilkinson, national accounts manager, Toyota Material Handling UK,
explains: "The cost of handling and storing goods are particularly high in
cold storage operations. At Toyota we have a long history and experience
working in low temperature operations and by working closely with Cold Move,
we have used that experience to help them drive down cost in their
business".
In order to monitor and reduce operating costs Cold Move chose to implement
a new Toyota battery change tugger, which enables quick battery changing
providing maximum capability with minimal downtime and risk to operatives
during battery change functions. Cold Move also employed the use of high
frequency chargers which helps to reduce draw on electricity, reduce
watering and improve carbon footprint.
Mike Lythgoe concludes "The new battery change system provides a
considerable cost saving to our business. Combined with the Toyota I_Site
fleet management system and the use of Toyota wireless technology we are
able to have complete control of our fleet and manage our costs more
effectively."
