Arla Foods UK has taken delivery of its first MasterMover PowerPusher at its bottling and distribution site in Lancashire.
The machine is responsible for the movement of up to 60 product rollcages from the back of delivery wagons to the cleansing and sterilising area. The specially designed front attachment enables the unit to drive directly up to a row of stillages and, using a two-man operation for control and manoeuvrability, push the train into position.
Officials at Arla Foods UK said that the benefits of the machine were recognised after just one month on site. Two of Arla’s forktrucks have now been replaced by this system.
