The order picker and other new trucks have been supplied on an operational lease. This recently launched model from Yale is set to play a crucial role as its higher lifting platform provides easy access to raised pallet locations within the 7.8m high warehouse.
All the new equipment will continue to be maintained by Laadur’s team of 24 service engineers as part of an agreement that’s already paying dividends for Antalis.
Gunnar Vahter, the company’s Transportation and Warehouse Manager, explained: “By replacing the fleet we are already seeing a significant reduction in expenditure of repairs from our original ageing fleet and other operational costs.”

“The new equipment is also capable of handling a wider and more diverse range of loads which is important to us as we are continually expanding our product offering. Laadur and Yale have come up with a solutions package that is flexible enough to meet our existing and future needs.”

“The market we operate in is constantly changing and we are always adapting our product lines to keep ahead of the competition. For example we have recently moved into packing products and this requires us to be able to move a number of unusual loads around the warehouse.

“We also require exceptional reliability and a rapid service response as our 3000 pallet location warehouse can be extremely busy.

“Through our warehouse a range of more than 3000 different products is delivered to our customers and therefore an efficient operation is essential in maintaining our market leading position. What is so pleasing is that Yale and Laadur have managed to achieve this while bringing real cost savings to our operation.”

The Yale trucks now in operation on the site have a proven track record of both reliability and flexibility. Joel Joa, Territory Manager from Yale Europe Materials Handling added: “Our MO series offers one of the most efficient and cost effective solutions for order picking.

“In Estonia, order pickers such as these are still fairly uncommon and so the expertise provided by Laadur has given Yale a distinct advantage when it comes to developing solutions for innovative and forward thinking companies such as Antalis.
“We are now looking forward to working with both companies for many years to come.”
