Forklift specialist Toyota Material Handling has supplied Sydney retailer Strandbags with a variety of equipment on a five-year lease basis for its new global distribution centre in Erskine Park.
Equipment supplied to the 8,500 sq m warehouse includes a fleet of eight pantograph reach trucks, two wire-guided high-level order pickers, a low-level order picker and an electric counter balance forklift.
Besides attending equipment demonstrations at Toyota, Strandbags personnel were able to visit several sites already using the wire-guided system to evaluate its suitability for the new warehouse.
Almost 1km of cabling was installed in the slab for the wire-guided order pickers. Toyota engineers liaised with the concreter and oversaw installation of the cabling to ensure precise specifications were followed.
Toyota representatives were also actively involved in the design layout of the warehouse.
