Clover is upgrading its City Deep, Johannesburg facility with the addition of new warehouse equipment from the Goscor Lift Truck Company (GLTC).
The new equipment comprises four Crown ESR 5260 2.0 reach trucks, two Doosan D25S-5 counterbalance forklifts, and five Crown SCT 6040 1.8 electric counterbalance forklifts.
The new machines will be used to move pallets in and around the facility quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.
Clover City Deep Maintenance Manager Petrus Lubbe says the 24 000 m2 City Deep facility houses around 9 000 pallets of chilled products, with the average pallet holding about 0,7 tons of product, and the largest pallet weighing up to one ton.
Clover City Deep already deploys five three-wheelers and six high-reach machines, as well as five powered pallet trucks.
GLTC Regional Sales Manager Werner Stegmann says: “The low maintenance and ease of service makes them ideal for the facility, which is a fast-paced and dynamic environment that requires robust equipment offering optimal productivity.”
In addition, the Clover City Deep facility also utilises a Tennant sweeper-scrubber from group sister company Goscor Cleaning Equipment for cleaning purposes and to maintain hygiene standards.
