ICE Solution has deployed a fleet of Yale trucks

ICE Solution has deployed a fleet of Yale trucks for its cold stores which store goods at -25°C.

In its search for materials handling equipment, ICE Solution required a reliable, durable and energy-efficient solution from a partner that also offered rapid and reliable parts supply. With an average of 25 to 30 truckloads of goods handled every day, any delays caused by breakdowns would have a significant impact on the company's productivity, therefore service was an important aspect of any product offering.

ICE Solution turned to dealer Pagát Gold, which recommended a fleet of 13 Yale trucks.

Four Yale ERP15VT three-wheel electric forklift trucks transport pallets around the facility, with the narrowed tipping frame enabling the operator to move comfortably between the shelves and overhanging pallets.

The cold storage company also required a pallet truck that was capable of picking up and dropping off several pallets of goods at the same time. As part of the preparation process, modifications were made to the Yale trucks to achieve this. The Yale MP25T pallet truck was fitted with a 2,400 mm long fork enabling it to carry a load of up to 2.5 T at a time - allowing the operator to stack pallets side-by-side.

"A great advantage of the Yale MP25T is that it is extremely agile and can work quickly, even under heavy workload," says Domonkos Csik, managing director at ICE Solution.

A combination of two MS15X-IL platform stackers, two MR16HD reach trucks and four MO20P low level order pickers work alongside the MP25T to provide high efficiency and fast response times.

"The Yale pallet trucks, forklifts and reach trucks combine to create an efficient working environment. Due to the dynamic pace and nature of our business, we expect the same dynamism from our materials handling solutions. Our fleet of Yale trucks not only meet our expectations, they exceed them," concludes Csik.
