Enhancing productivity

Bengaluru-based Maini Group and Yale together optimised pallet movement for an auto component manufacturer to reduce their operational costs.

Maini Group is one of India´s leading design and manufacturing company, synonymous with innovation and cutting edge technology. The company offers comprehensive solutions in high-precision engineering components, material handling, warehousing and logistics, aerospace and electrical vehicles. While its manufacturing base is in India, the warehousing and marketing networks extend to over more than 25 countries.

Product offerings
Yale and Yale - Maini range of solutions comprise pallet trucks, order pickers, reach trucks, counterbalance trucks, forklift trucks, explosion proof trucks and VNA´s.

Problem statement
A leading global auto component manufacturer in Bengaluru approached Maini Group for a solution to their operations problem related to weekly pallet movement. With racking reaching heights of over 9 m and aisles of just 2.9 m, they had a specific material handling equipment requirement for their raw materials and finished products warehouse, where there are over 500 pallet movements every week.

The materials stored in the warehouse are required throughout the year as the site operates continuously. The break in the supply due to delays in pallet movement was increasing the operational costs.

Solution
The solution was provided by Maini Group, based on the most efficient truck for the specification of the warehouse. They identified that the MR 20H will offer low cost of ownership, high dependability and productivity, combined with operator comfort. Yale MR series Reach Truck operates using a manual order picking system that determines the most efficient method of handling pallets.

Reliable features
  • Reliable vehicle control manager
  • Longlasting reach and fork carriage design
  • Strong frame or mast design assembly
  • Designed with AC technology on traction, hoist and steering motors, CANbus technology to reduce point to point wiring and enhance data transmission, reliability, and easy diagnostic capability to enhance dependability.
  • Low lifetime cost of ownership is achieved through minimised unscheduled repairs and maintenance.
  • High on productivity

  • AC motor
  • Palm tech joystick control
  • 360o steering
  • Tilting fork carriage with integral side shift
  • The steering console incorporates the steering wheel, display with keypad and function buttons for parking brake, three pre-set performance levels plus slow speed mode, and optional features such as traction cut out override for battery change.
  • A comprehensive easy-to-read graphic display is provided featuring drive wheel position indicator with forward or reverse travel direction indicator, battery discharge indicator, hour meter on power up, parking brake status, battery release status, selected performance level and alarm condition.
  • Height indicator display is optional.
  • The display may also be changed to show the alarm history detail or set up parameters.
  • The 10-digit keypad can be configured for driver authorisation codes and the optional height pre-selector.

  • Conclusion
    The company ensures the ease of use and comfort for the operators. With a 16-hour shift pattern, split over two shifts, operating trucks in a quiet warehouse in the middle of the night can be solitary and it required maintaining optimum efficiency and keeping operators focused and alert.
