Forklift Trucks for the Engineering and Mechanical Industry

The engineering and mechanical industry relies on complex and demanding logistics chains. From global supply chain management and just-in-time flow optimisation to handling large or fragile components, the challenges are numerous. The performance of these sectors directly depends on handling solutions that are reliable, flexible, and tailored to the specific constraints of each operation.

1. Managing Complex Global Supply Chains

Engineering and mechanical industries depend on global logistics networks, which are subject to regulatory and geopolitical uncertainties. Delays, stock shortages, and unexpected disruptions must be anticipated to ensure business continuity. To address these challenges, electric forklifts equipped with lithium batteries reducing CO2 emissions by up to 26%, heavy-duty forklifts available in both internal combustion and electric versions, as well as AGV forklifts that automate internal logistics for improved responsiveness, are essential.

2. Optimising Just-in-Time Delivery

Industrial processes rely on just-in-time delivery to minimise stock levels and maintain production continuity. Reliable logistics are essential to avoid disruptions. This strategy is supported by tailored forklift fleets for responsive supply, flexible rental solutions to adjust resources to peak activity periods, and AGV forklifts to automate handling and reduce errors.

3. Handling Complex Components and Products

Mechanical and electronic components are often large, heavy, or fragile. Their handling requires reliable solutions to ensure safe transportation without damage. Heavy-duty forklifts and straddle carriers are designed for oversized loads, AGV forklifts ensure precise handling of sensitive components, and customised solutions help adapt to the most demanding logistical constraints.

Optimising logistics and ensuring production performance require innovative and eco-friendly handling solutions, capable of meeting the challenges of the engineering and mechanical industry.
