Polish Sales Partner for Electric Tugs

OMV Polska, a member of the VECAR Group, which supports companies in warehouse and production logistics, has become an authorised sales partner of UK-based MasterMover, a leading manufacturer of electric tug solutions. The partnership will see OMV Polska add the full range of MasterMover electric tugs and tows to its product range, giving manufacturers, logistics operators and retailers access to compact, powerful material handling equipment for moving wheeled loads.

In addition, OMV will provide full repair and maintenance services to its customers using MasterMover products, delivering both regular servicing and responding to any repair requirements.

MasterMover electric tugs are used around the world by industrial manufacturers to move equipment, products and materials. The company offers the widest range of solutions in the market, with machines available to move loads up to 30,000kg. The innovative MultiLink technology can also be used to move heavier loads, by synchronising the use of multiple electric tugs, operated by a single operator via remote control.

The company offers pedestrian-operated, remote control and fully autonomous load movement solutions (AGV) to customers across industrial manufacturing, retail and logistics, around the world.

“OMV Polska offers our customers a range of products and services, working closely with customers to drive efficient operators in their warehouse and production logistics,” said Klaudiusz Ziemniecki, CEO, OMV Polska. “Adding the MasterMover range of electric tugs to our product portfolio allows us to offer our customers the ideal material handling solution for moving wheeled loads, and complements our existing portfolio of products extremely well.”

Launched in 2005, OMV Polska is part of the Italian-based VECAR Group, helping customers arrange the world of warehouse and production logistics. The company is an authorised dealer of CESAB forklift trucks, from hand pallet trucks, through electric and engine trucks, to towing solutions and low-level order pickers. Besides that, the company supports customers in designing, installing and servicing warehouse racks.

The OMV Polska product portfolio is complemented by a range of other products and truck services offered to customers across Poland.

“Working with high-quality partners such as OMV Polska is a key part of our strategy. We’re delighted to add the company to our growing network of partners around the world and look forward to collaborating across a range of opportunities. The OMV Polska team very much match our own culture, being open to flexibility and innovation, and proactively supporting customers and responding to their needs,” said Group Marketing Director, Jonathan Dolby.

“Electric tugs and tows are the ideal solution for moving heavy loads on wheels, and in many applications, allow manufacturers to operate far more safely and far more efficiently than would be possible when other more traditional material equipment is used,” he added. “We’re confident OMV Polska customers, and others in the Polish market, will be excited about the range of safety, efficiency and flexibility benefits that come with using best-in-class electric tugs.”

MasterMover electric tugs connect securely to the load being moved, with a variety of coupling options available. They are simple to operate and require no operator license, and with a range of safety features built in as standard, ensuring a safe working environment through the controlled movement of loads, protecting employees and eliminating manual handling – which often leads to accidents and injury.

“We see many applications where keeping the load on the ground offers manufacturers many safety and efficiency benefits, along with less disruption impacting to operational processes,” commented Ziemniecki. “We’re delighted to be able to offer such a high-quality solution. We have found the MasterMover team to be highly knowledgeable, responsive and great to work with, and we look forward to the relationship growing further over the coming years.”

In particular, we have been impressed with the quality of the products available from MasterMover. I am sure our customers benefit greatly from electric tug solutions across many applications and industry sectors.”

3PL Welcomes Plan for UK-Türkiye FTA

As a market leader in overland trailer services between Türkiye and the UK, Davies Turner welcomes today’s news that the UK and Türkiye have committed to negotiate an updated Free Trade Agreement (FTA) designed to deepen the trade relationship between the two countries.

Tariff-free arrangements like the one signed in 2020, which was rolled over from when the UK left the EU, covering goods, but not areas such as services, digital and data, support the trading relationship between the UK and Türkiye, and bring benefits to UK importers and exporters, as well as the freight forwarding and logistics companies that manage their supply chains.

That’s the opinion of Alan Williams, company director, who adds that a new broader deal could boost trade and help businesses maximise opportunities in this area.

As a major facilitator of trade between the two countries, Davies Turner operates multiple daily two-way overland and multimodal trailer services between the UK and Türkiye in a long-standing partnership with Istanbul-based Ekol, one of the country’s largest freight and warehousing operators.

UK-Türkiye FTA

Williams adds: “The tariff-free trading agreement signed in 2020, along with the problems in long distance supply chains, which have increasingly prompted traders to turn to Türkiye as an alternative source of supply to countries in Asia, has had a major impact on the uptick in trading volumes between the two countries over the last two years. In welcoming the news, we would also be delighted to provide input into any consultation that is conducted ahead of the start of negotiations, which is expected in 2024.”

Storage Systems Boost Capacity of UK 3PL

AR Racking has designed and installed the new warehouse for a leading 3PL operator in the technology sector specialised in servicing e-commerce companies. The intralogistics solution storage systems specialist will boost the competitiveness of the new centre in Bradford, West Yorkshire of one of the leading logistics operators.

With its comprehensive management approach, AR Racking has equipped the warehouse with US standard very narrow aisle (VNA) and adjustable pallet racking with up to a load capacity of 1,000 kg, reaching the figure of 12,000 pallet positions.

For the 3PL, agility and total control in the supply chain have been key to its growth since starting back in 1997. Thanks to AR Racking’s technical-sales team, the logistics operator specialised in technology and e-commerce sectors will be able to more effectively offer smart international supply chain solutions to retailers, brands and manufacturers.

AR Racking UK, based in Slough, is specialised in large storage projects, which it manages comprehensively from the manufacture through to the final installation of industrial racking exploiting the turnkey project concept to the maximum.
