Engineering Services Manager - Henningsen Cold Storage Co.
Henningsen Cold Storage is one of the largest public refrigerated warehousing companies in the U.S. Its refrigerated logistics consists of a national warehouse network totaling more than 1.4 million cubic metres (53 million cubic feet) of multi-temperature controlled storage (-20 to +60°F). The company is based in the Pacific Northwest with 11 facilities located throughout the United States.
When Henningsen Cold Storage builds new facilities, the company often pushes the envelope in terms of storage height, weight capacity and speed. The company is continually looking for ways to increase productivity and improve safety within its cold storage environment. The company needed to determine the right forklift fleet for the new facility while maximising the space in its freezer.
The Crown RM 6000 gave the company the advantage they needed. The truck’s MonoLift mast offers unsurpassed rigidity and can reach 13 metres (505 inches) and deliver up to 453 kilograms (1,000 pounds) more capacity at height. The truck is equipped with forks that travel upward at a pace of 49 metres per minute (160 feet per minute). Elevated load sway is minimised through the use of a closed cross-section mast construction. Operators experience significantly reduced mast sway and twisting resulting in more confidence, less time waiting for the mast to steady and more time moving loads. The RM 6000 with MonoLift mast offers the best in operator visibility and performance. With a clear window of visibility at height, eye level and ground level, operators can move loads efficiently while reducing the risk of damage to product, racks, and trucks.
