With their ability to move around the warehouse easily and put away and retrieve palletised loads from Ingram Micro’s two-deep narrow aisle racking layouts, the Flexi StorMAX models are said to have increased pallet movements at the Daventry site by 25 percent per truck.
The introduction of Flexi StorMAX articulated trucks also means that Ingram Micro are no longer ‘double handling’ loads, while additional storage space has been created by eliminating the need for ‘pick and deposit’ stations at the end of the aisles.
Narrow Aisle’s managing director, John Maguire, said: “The Flexi Truck range offers logistics service provides many alternative solutions for warehousing needs. In this instance fast throughput capability and maximum storage density are required. Ingram Micro are benefiting from the space and throughput efficiency that Flexi StorMAX Truck technology brings and we are delighted to be working with the company for many years to come.”
Ingram Micro’s new Flexi Truck articulated warehouse trucks have been supplied on a contract hire agreement with inclusive service and maintenance support, which provides the assurance of fixed costs and optimum truck uptime over a five-year period.
