    As a global leading supplier, we offer a comprehensive range of logistics equipment for the food wholesale and distribution industry, including:

    • Roll trolleys and cages: Durable units designed for safe storage and easy movement of goods across warehouses and distribution hubs. With mesh sides and strong castors, they reduce manual handling risks and speed up stock transportation.
    •  Merchandise picking trolleys: Essential for order fulfilment, these trolleys allow workers to pick products quickly and accurately. They help reduce turnaround times, streamline operations, and keep pace with the demanding schedules of wholesale and food distribution.
    • Post pallets and stillages: Strong, stackable, and flexible, these solutions maximise vertical space while safely storing heavy or bulky items. Ideal for wholesalers managing changing volumes, they allow efficient use of space without compromising safety.
    • Collapsible plastic boxes and pallets: Lightweight, robust, and easy to clean, these are built for hygienic food storage and transport. They fold flat when not in use, offering excellent space savings while meeting strict industry hygiene standards.
    • Hypacages: Quick to set up and simple to collapse, hypacages are ideal for storing loose, awkward, or fast-moving goods. They ensure easy visibility and access, helping staff move products quickly from storage to despatch.
    • Box and cage pallets: Versatile and protective, these pallets safeguard goods during storage and transit. Their raised bases and rigid frames enable safe stacking and forklift handling, ensuring secure movement through the supply chain
    • Warehouse trolleys and stock trolleys: These adaptable trolleys support the efficient transport of goods around busy distribution centres. With strong weight capacities and space-saving nesting designs, they keep stock flowing efficiently.

    • Supply and demand fluctuate with sudden surges calling for immediate action.
    • Storing chilled products is particularly sensitive and expensive.
    • Items of different sizes and weights require a mix of storage solutions.
    • Traceability is of critical importance.
    • The highest hygiene standards must be consistently maintained throughout the product journey from farm or factory to retailer and consumer.
    • Instant, round-the-clock access to all stock is vital.
