Leading FMCG manufacturer, ARYZTA, is to extend the scope of its relationship with pallet pooling expert LPR UK.

Headquartered in Switzerland, with operations across Europe, ARYZTA is one of the world’s leading suppliers of frozen baked goods. LPR has been appointed to provide 245,000 pallet movements per year – an increase of 45,000 over the previous arrangement. This means that even more of ARYZTA’s produce will now be transported on LPR’s distinctive red pallets. LPR’s high quality pallets and straightforward operations were the main factors in ARYZTA’s decision to increase the number of shipments.

John-Paul Seale, European procurement packaging lead at ARYZTA Bakeries Ireland, said: “We are extremely happy with the services LPR has provided so far. LPR’s communication and efficiency has been excellent and has really helped us maintain our high levels of quality and consistency. We have also been able to reduce CO2 emissions, thanks to the service provided by LPR; something incredibly important to the corporate values of ARYZTA.”

Adrian Fleming (pictured), regional manager of LPR UK and Ireland, added: “LPR prides itself on being able to provide high quality pallets and a reliable service to a wide range of clients. This increase in pallet movements from ARYZTA is a perfect demonstration of LPR’s commitment to its customers and a testament to our world-leading pallet pooling service.”

LayerMaster, from B&B Attachments, is a new solution for both layer picking and layer splitting loads. It allows a pallet to be quickly broken down or built up by clamping layers, and can be adjusted for a wide range of products including boxed and frozen goods, glass and plastics containers, tinned products and plastic trays. Very versatile, it can lift up to half of a 2400mm high pallet at a time or, alternatively, just a single layer of boxes, thereby enabling the load to be quickly broken down or built up by clamping single or multiple layers. The open centre version is capable of lifting a full height 2400mm load.

LayerMaster is unique in the way it clamps on all four sides of the product – which means minimal pressure is required to hold the load. Where a number of different layer weights (or product types) are required to be handled, a multi stage valve is supplied as standard to enable up to 3 pressures to be selected, which can be set by B&B’s experienced engineers.

The LayerMaster system is now widely used throughout the fresh produce sector and can be seen at most major supermarket distribution centres. The speed and versatility of the patented system can help businesses reduce time, labour, repetitive strain injury claims and significantly increase safe working practices and productivity.

The market is now changing from height reduction of loads being the norm, to now seeing more and more companies looking to order pick. This new approach is rapidly being applied to more and more applications.

In a traditional operation, the picker will go to a location and transfer goods manually onto another pallet, and then move on to the next location, depending on the picking requirements.

A layer-picking attachment on a forklift truck makes it possible to pick single or multiple layers of products, and allows the user to build up mixed pallets quickly, safely and efficiently with minimal manual labour. In a warehouse or distribution centre, picking usually represents about 25 percent of all labour costs. This type of attachment can typically process orders in excess of 1000 cases per hour, compared to 100-250 cases per hour manually.

Cold Chain Storage Network (CCN) – one of Asia’s leading temperature controlled storage and distribution specialists – has replaced the existing articulated lift truck fleet at its Malaysia facility with 8 new Flexi AC CS articulated forklifts designed and built by Narrow Aisle Ltd.

The fleet of Flexi AC Cold Store (CS) articulated trucks will operate at CNN’s 200,000 square foot multi temperature-controlled warehouse which is located in the Malaysian state of Selangor.

The facility offers chilled, frozen, deep frozen and ambient storage facilities to a host of customers and is one of the largest temperature-controlled storage sites in the region.

The Flexi AC CS fleet will be supplied and maintained by Prestar Marketing, part of Narrow Aisle’s global distributor network.

The truck’s ability to increase conventional pallet storage space by up to 30 per cent compared with reach trucks, combined with its VNA aisle performance in modern power mobile rack systems, has dramatically reduced cold store warehouse logistics costs for many users.

Despite its ultra-compact dimensions, the Flexi AC CS has capacity for loads of up to 2000kg and can lift to over 12 metres, while the truck’s specially designed and conditioned electrical and hydraulic system allows constant change of use between cold and ambient environments.

The Flexi AC CS can also operate continuously at temperatures as low as minus 28°C and only needs to leave the cold store for a battery change as battery charging can take place in the cold store itself if this is what the design of the store dictates.

A fully insulated and heated cab system is available to operators who need high volume pallet throughput.

John Maguire, sales and marketing director Narrow Aisle (pictured, with clients), commented: “This is an important contract from a part of the world that has embraced Flexi articulated forklift truck technology with enthusiasm.

“The trucks will be manufactured by Narrow Aisle and supplied to Prestar – our distribution and service partner – for onward delivery to CCN.

“CCN is one of Malaysia’s largest provider of cold chain, multi-temperature logistics and warehousing and has long been an advocate of the articulated truck concept but was moved to seek a higher quality articulated forklift supplier after experiencing a number of operational problems with a US-sourced articulated lift truck brand that the company had been using.”

Hubbard Products, UK-based creator of European Refrigeration Systems is using the Commercial Vehicle Show for the launch of its new range of Diesel over-cab and under-mount refrigeration units.

In what the company says is a first for the UK transport refrigeration market, the brand-new range of Mono-block Diesel powered Un0 over-cab/under mounted systems incorporate a revolutionary (inline drive train) system that removes the need for drive belts. In conjunction with Kinetic Logic from the controller “this will increase service intervals and overall efficiency while giving a reduced cost of ownership,” says the company.

Presented in a stylish new design of ABS casing the Hubbard Un0 range will be available in four sizes for medium to large vehicles.

The four units, Un0 60, Un0 80, Un0 100 and Un0 120 will deliver significant benefits to refrigerated transport operators with low maintenance costs, improved fuel consumption, low noise levels and automatic temperature management through microprocessors. All the units are available with a range of options, including Multi-temperature for frozen and chilled deliveries, alternative voltages, heating systems with hot water and electrical heaters, 100A/H battery and separate fuel tanks.

Dougie Stoddart, Commercial Director for Hubbard Products says, “These are the first Diesel monoblock units Hubbard have offered to the UK Transport Sector. Everybody will know that Hubbard is involved in the development of the next generation of zero emission transport refrigeration systems with the Dearman liquid nitrogen powered technology. However, it is important to remember that diesel power will remain a tried and trusted drive source for many operators. Improving the efficiency of diesel units remains a key target for Hubbard, and the Un0 units are seen as a key stepping stone to acknowledging the importance of improving air quality by reducing or completely removing NOx emissions from the transport refrigeration cycle. Our aim is to make transport refrigeration as environmentally friendly as possible, as quickly as possible. This is another step in that process.”

To demonstrate the synergy between the new range of Un0 units and the on-going development of the Dearman powered liquid nitrogen, Hubbard and Dearman will be showing an example of the ground-breaking engine on stand 3E110 situated in the ‘Cool Pavilion’ at the CV Show 201, staged at the NEC Birmingham between April 26-28.
