The forklift prevails in the SipWell warehouse. They drive around all the time and create order among the thousands of SipWell bottles. It is therefore important that the forklifts are of good quality and safe. We at SipWell, thought it was time for new forklifts. That also deserved a solemn inauguration.

Quite an upgrade

The new forklifts have a lot of new gadgets to make everything more safely and efficiently. They have blue guidelines that makes driving in reverse easier. The fork can be adjusted effortlessly with just a few levers. They also have a door to better protect the operator of the Truck. Karlien, our Fleet Manager, is happy to tell you more about it. “The forklifts are much more sensitive and that’s something our warehouse staff will have to get used to. We will soon start the testing phase in which they will learn how to handle them. ”

An official moment

The four brand new forklifts were neatly parked and were adorned with a beautiful blue SipWell ribbon. General manager Peter Henderickx, together with our Supply Chain Manager and our Fleet Manager, cut the ribbon. The forklift trucks were then allowed to be put into use.

Wat met de oude?

Kapotte waterkoelers worden gerecycleerd en belanden dus niet op de schroothoop, zo ook met onze heftrucks. “We beschikken momenteel over acht heftrucks. Die gaan we uit elkaar halen en op die manier vier nieuwe heftrucks samenstellen. De overige stukken zullen dan als reservestukken dienen,” aldus onze fleet manager. Op die manier zullen onze depots ook van nieuwe heftrucks voorzien worden.

Wil je graag met onze nieuwe heftrucks rijden? We zijn momenteel nog op zoek naar een Operator (M/V) met een heftruckattest. Solliciteren kan via jobs@sipwell.com. Meer info over deze vacature vind je hier.
