“ As a business, we’ re always looking for ways to improve, and health and safety remains a key priority for us. Our initial risk assessment highlighted the need to move away from traditional mobile steps to allow warehouse operatives to handle heavier loads in a safer way and to do so, we turned to the Cat Mini Order Pickers.
“ Operators now no longer need to climb the previously used mobile steps while carrying loads, dramatically reducing the risks associated with working at height.”
Linx initially trialled one Cat Mini Order Picker, and following an overwhelmingly positive response from warehouse staff, the business invested in two units, deploying one in each of its two warehouse facilities located in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire.
Brian Fowler continued:“ Since introducing the Cat Mini Order Pickers into our operations, we have seen clear improvements in not only safety, but productivity as well. Previously, our warehouse operatives could only carry a single carton up the steps at a time.
“ With this equipment, they can now transport between 60 and 90kg per lift, allowing up to 12 boxes to be moved in one trip. As a result, tasks that once required 30 individual journeys can now be completed in roughly two trips, significantly improving throughput and creating a safer working environment.
“ This is why we place such high value on this type of equipment. They’ re not a‘ nice to have’ for us, they are an essential investment that protects both the wellbeing of our staff and the integrity of our products. The Cat Mini Order Pickers have also proven popular with our employees, who have taken to them quickly and now see them as an invaluable part of being able to undertake their day-to-day roles.”
Stuart Parnell, Area Sales Manager at Impact Handling also said:“ We were pleased to support Linx with the specification and supply of Cat Mini Order Pickers; equipment that genuinely serves to not only transform safety within warehouse operations but also supercharge productivity levels.
“ Impact Handling’ s role goes beyond just supplying high-quality equipment. We listen, advise, and ensure our customers receive the solution that best fits their needs. Our delivery of such material handling equipment to Linx perfectly illustrates this approach; matching the right solution to the right brief, leading to benefits such as reducing risk, and making everyday tasks simpler and more efficient for operators.”
