Food factory material handling

Move every pallet with the right vehicle.

Receiving dock, production floor, cold store or high rack: COWPIGGY matches the truck to the load, aisle, lift height, floor and duty cycle.

01 / Pallet journey

One factory. Four different handling jobs.

Using one vehicle for every task can waste aisle space, energy and operator time. Start by separating horizontal travel from lift and storage work.

RECEIVING

Unload & transfer

Move pallets from dock to buffer or staging.

PRODUCTION

Line replenishment

Feed materials and remove finished goods.

WAREHOUSE

Stack & retrieve

Place pallets at low or medium lift heights.

HIGH RACK

Reach & store

Work in narrower aisles and higher racking.

02 / Reference equipment

Build the fleet around the task.

Each reference family covers a different movement pattern. Final specification must confirm load centre, attachment, lift height and local operating conditions.

*Supplier reference data. Residual capacity changes with lift height, load centre, mast and attachments; final specification requires confirmation.

03 / Food-factory context

The environment belongs in the specification.

Food plants introduce cleaning, temperature, hygiene zoning and traffic constraints that a model name alone does not answer.

FLOOR

Surface & gradients

Confirm floor condition, ramps, thresholds and dock plates.

SPACE

Aisle & doorway

Measure the load, right-angle stacking aisle and clear height.

SHIFT

Duty cycle

Travel distance, lifts per hour, shifts and charging windows.

ZONE

Operating environment

Ambient, chilled, freezer, wet-cleaning and corrosion exposure.

04 / Selection brief

Six facts prevent the wrong truck.

A useful inquiry includes the load and the space around it—not only the requested tonnage.

  1. 01
    Load and load centre

    Maximum pallet weight, dimensions and stability.

  2. 02
    Lift and rack

    Maximum fork height, top beam and required residual capacity.

  3. 03
    Aisle geometry

    Right-angle stacking aisle, doorway and turning space.

  4. 04
    Travel pattern

    Distance, gradients, floor transitions and traffic.

  5. 05
    Energy plan

    Shift length, charging windows and battery preference.

  6. 06
    Environment

    Indoor/outdoor, temperature, moisture and hygiene zoning.

COWPIGGY will map the task to a reference family and identify the mast, battery, attachment and export information needed next.
