Trucks perform double act at Schiedel Rite Vent
When Schiedel Rite Vent was planning a new finished goods and raw materials warehouse at its factory it specified double deep racking served by a new Atlet lift truck to maximise storage capacity. The new warehouse complements existing facilities, which use a combination of double deep and conventional racking, and Schiedel Rite Vent estimates that it can store around 50 per cent more items in the same space. In addition to supplying a new double-deep reach stacker for the warehouse, Atlet also refurbished a number of Schiedel Rite Vent’s existing trucks to bring the entire fleet up to the best possible standard.
“We chose Atlet again because they provide good service and a quality product,” says Paul Mansfield, Warehouse Manager at Schiedel Rite Vent. “The new truck is excellent and the ones that have been refurbished look like new.”
Scheidel Rite Vent, part of the multinational LaFarge group, is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of commercial chimneys. At its factory in Washington, Tyne and Wear, the company produces steel chimneys although the warehouse is also responsible for distributing accessories and concrete products made elsewhere.
