Customer Cases| Zowell multi-directional Forklift Trucks Help Aluminum Enterprises Break Through Long Material Warehousing and Transportation Bottlenecks
With the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, as well as the rapid development of new energy, aerospace, rail transit and other fields, the aluminum profile market demand is strong and shows continuous growth. A large number of orders into the warehouse to the aluminum profile enterprise warehousing planning, long material loading and unloading, handling, plant safety has brought challenges,the enterprises began to seek a safer and more efficient long material warehousing and logistics solutions. Recently, two multi-directional forklifts/reach trucks of Zowell Intelligent Forklifts were successfully delivered to customers in the aluminum profile industry, and once tried, they were highly recognized by the customer side. Program Background The customer is an enterprise engaged in manufacturing, processing and sales of aluminum profiles. The company is strong and has aluminum alloy profile production lines with a scale of thousands of tons, and the products are widely used in real estate development, construction, electric power, rail transportation and other fields. The client hopes that the upgrading of internal logistics will enable the company to better meet market opportunities and expand its brand influence. Project Difficulties ◼ Low utilization of warehousing The warehouse originally used ground stacked storage, chaotic placement, excessive occupation of the warehouse floor, and due to the special shape of the aluminum profile, stacking height is limited, a large number of vertical storage space is wasted, the efficiency of enterprise warehousing needs to be improved. ◼ Logistics efficiency needs to be optimized Lack of professional equipment to cope with aluminum profile loading and unloading, indoor and outdoor transfer, complicated handling process, limited load capacity, need to be divided into several times for repetitive transfer, stacking action, logistics inefficiency; ◼ There are major safety hazards Aluminum profiles with large specifications and large individual weights are difficult to achieve smooth transportation, and are more prone to tipping over when encountering sloping road sections, resulting in personal injury and property damage.
