New Work Platform, Conveyors Help Basket Trucks Increase Production
As Thomas Carney reviewed his building’s expansion options, it became clear that only one truly made sense.
Carney, president of Royal Basket Trucks, Darien, Wis., was looking to increase the company’s production rates to better meet growing customer demand. To accomplish that goal, the initial thought was to expand the existing facility with a new wing—a costly option that would take a minimum of six months to complete. But, after speaking with Wildeck, Inc., Waukesha, Wis., a new alternative emerged that proved to be a winning combination—optimizing the existing facility with a new work platform and Delta Lift vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC).
