Synseal has commissioned a state-of-the-art picking vehicle (PV). The Hubtex EZK 20 offers Synseal an effective way to pick products in the new 100,000 square foot warehouse where there are 800 picking stations.
The PV is 8.6 metres long, carries two stillages and two people, so products can be picked in situ without double handling. Before PV, stillages had to be moved by forklift to ground level, the products then picked and the stillage replaced on the rack. Now the electric powered vehicle glides between the aisles, and rises up to the correct level to give the crew access to the products at waist height.
The crews had had additional height training to work on the PV including abseiling down from the picking platform.
Jackie James, Head of Logistics, comments: "While some of the products we send out to customers are full stillages, there are many deliveries where mixed stillages are required. The PV makes it easier to get orders right first time and easier and safer for the crews. The new warehouse racking system is now fully functioning and the addition of the PV makes the operation highly efficient so customers get what they want, when they want it."
