Haulotte picking up in Brintons

Brintons Carpets is using the new Haulotte Star 6 Picking in its operation in Kidderminster, UK. The machine - supplied through the Midlands-based Mitsubishi forklift daler Jofson Ltd - is on a contract rental package.

“The Star 6 Picking has increased productivity and is in constant use over two shifts,” said Martin Priest, Brintons’ group engineering manager. “It is the perfect order picker for our small batches of yarn because it has a small footprint which means we can manoeuvre easily around the warehouse.”

With a working height of 6 metres, electric drive and low noise the Star 6 Picking vertical mast is particularly suited for working in commercial and retail stores and logistics operations. The platform allows the operator to drop and pick up parcels, small boxes and parts stored at height on shelves with maximum comfort and safety. Its stowed height of 1.64m allowes it to pass through standard doorways and/or lifts. The combination of its 0.76m width and the tight turning radius makes it easy to manoeuvre in all working areas.

Dave Roddy, Haulotte regional account manager, said “The Star 6 Picking is ideal for companies like Brintons. It’s a robust, hard working machine that can really have a positive impact on this type of business.”
