We're ready! Let the tires of our forklifts glow!

Four months before Christmas, we are well-prepared for our highest-volume season.

1. High stock levels

2. Motivated staff

3. State-of-the-art technology

It wasn't long ago that things looked different. We lacked a modern counterbalance forklift. This has now arrived just in time to complete our warehouse fleet. We now own three models from CESAB: an electric pallet truck, a reach truck, and the new counterbalance forklift.

When procuring, we looked for a regional partner who could impress us with their expertise and service. In this process, the company HTC – HebetechnikCenter Dresden particularly positively surprised us. From the outset, they made a reliable, service-oriented impression, and the price-performance ratio affirmed a collaboration.

In Eastern Germany, HTC has been known for over 20 years as a partner for forklifts for industry, trade, crafts, logistics companies, and municipalities. They rely on CESAB brand forklifts, the world leader in material handling equipment. With 70 years of experience, they produce innovative, reliable forklifts for companies of all industries worldwide.

But enough about that: We finally want to introduce you to our three technical "darlings" in the warehouse:

Our Three Technical "Darlings"

CESAB P320 Electric Pallet Truck

The P320 electric pallet truck (also known as a "pallet jack" or "walkie rider") is used for daily parcel picking. You could call it the baby of the family. Its low chassis height provides optimal visibility and excellent all-round sight. But as small as it may seem in comparison, it is just as robust. Even under heavy loads, it is excellently maneuverable and reliably operational even in high-intensity applications. And in terms of speed, it can keep up with its bigger siblings at up to 10 km/h. A dwarf with quality and low energy consumption.

Our colleague Henry has long since taken a liking to it and primarily uses it to quickly and efficiently gather goods for daily order picking.

CESAB R112 Reach Truck

"Form follows function" is the motto for its big brother, the R112 reach truck, which helps us with the storage and retrieval of pallets on the 2nd and 3rd levels in the high-bay racking system – at heights of up to 7 meters.

This model was designed for user-friendly, ergonomic work in a safe environment: multi-function display, 360° steering wheel, user-friendly buttons instead of levers, pedal arrangement similar to a car, wrist rest, "dead man's pedal" (foot in a safe area within the chassis structure), and various sensitive, jerk-free driving adjustments depending on speed.

You often see our colleague Claudia "whizzing" through the warehouse with it: "I like driving the reach truck. It's easy, everything is modern and comfortable to operate."

CESAB B210 Counterbalance Forklift

To get goods off the truck upon delivery, the B210 counterbalance forklift is indispensable. It's lighter than our reach truck and doesn't damage pallets like the pallet jack, making loading and unloading a breeze.

It embodies the perfect combination of compact size, good maneuverability, high performance, and ergonomic operation. Its three wheels make maneuvering easy even in tight spaces. Modern technology reduces the risk of damage to goods. And with two free-lift cylinders, it moves through the warehouse like on silent soles. With these features, it's our warehouse manager Richard's favorite. To those of us unfamiliar with the department, it looks like he's on a bumper car when he skillfully and agilely drives around corners with it.

For those of us who love facts and figures, we've summarized them compactly:

Our colleagues are ready and eager to be challenged! Let the tires of our forklifts glow!
