Unbeatably Manoeuvrable, Safe to Operate

Clark has launched a new, manoeuvrable high-lift truck with lithium-ion technology. The SWX16, with a load capacity of 1.6t, is suitable for transporting goods over short distances in industry, trade and distribution. Thanks to its extraordinary manoeuvrability, the compact high-lift truck is unbeatable when it comes to moving goods quickly and safely in confined spaces with a hand-operated device – whether in the warehouse pre-zone or at the high rack.

The pedestrian stacker has a maximum lift height of 5500 mm and so can easily reach even higher shelves. With a turning radius of only 1507 mm, the truck is also designed to be extremely compact so that safe load handling is possible even in space-critical work areas. The SXW16 also has a lot to offer in terms of handling performance: For example, the lifting and lowering speeds of 0.20 m/s and 0.26 m/s (with and without load) and 0.4 m/s and 0.3 m/s (with and without load) are significantly higher than those of its predecessor.

User-friendly and safe thanks to Clark SpeedControl

The standard Clark SpeedControl (CSC) increases safety during operation. CSC automatically adjusts the driving speed to the position of the tiller. This means that the smaller the distance between the operator and the vehicle, the more the speed of the hand-guided warehouse assistant is reduced. When the driver releases the tiller, the vehicle brakes automatically. With the tiller in the normal driving position, the vehicle reaches the maximum driving speed of 5.5 km/h. All parameters of the CSC can be individually adjusted according to the customer’s wishes. In addition, the proportional hydraulic control, which is also standard, ensures safe and precise storage and retrieval of sensitive loads.

For intuitive and fatigue-free operation of the vehicle, all controls are positioned within easy reach in the ergonomic tiller and can be operated by both right-handed and left-handed operators. Because the tiller is long and low, the operator can operate the vehicle with sufficient safety distance. In addition, he has an optimal view of the forks and can store and retrieve loads quickly and safely even in narrow racking aisles.

Li-Ion power ensures maximum efficiency

The SWX16 is equipped with a maintenance-free, encapsulated 1.6 kW three-phase traction motor. This ensures powerful acceleration and high travel speeds. The powerful 4.5 kW lift motor guarantees maximum efficiency when lifting and lowering loads. The SWX16 is available with a 24 V, 205 Ah lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion). It therefore also proves itself in multi-shift use, because the Li-Ion battery can be recharged at any time and within a very short time – for example during breaks – without damaging the battery or shortening its service life. The battery can be recharged at any 230-volt socket. Clark offers a 24 V, 100 Ah charger for Li-Ion batteries in the scope of delivery. With Li-Ion technology, the vehicle has a high level of availability thanks to the battery’s rapid charging capability, as time-consuming battery replacement is no longer necessary. Moreover, Li-Ion technology not only increases productivity, but also saves costs for maintenance, infrastructure, and replacement batteries. This makes a Li-Ion vehicle worthwhile for anyone who wants to operate a maintenance-free, long-lasting, and fast-charging battery with a high safety standard. For application profiles where a Li-Ion battery is not required, the SWX16 is also available with a lead-acid battery with a battery capacity of 24 V, 225 Ah.

Low operating costs through easy maintenance

The use of proven AC controllers makes the SWX16 high-lift truck an extremely maintenance-friendly warehouse helper. Should a malfunction nevertheless occur, the error code indication in the display provides the service technician with information about the possible cause. Thanks to a one-piece bonnet, the truck offers easy access for service and maintenance work. In addition, the service technician can easily program the travel and lift parameters via the vehicle display.

Transparent Dialogue for Customer Satisfaction

Reliable, fast and competent customer service along with a strong customer satisfaction focus have always been hallmarks claimed by Still.

With innovative, digital solutions, forward-looking and individual service and a high level of solution expertise, the Hamburg-based intralogistics specialist ensures customer satisfaction and the maximum availability and efficiency of their material handling fleets. Close dialogue with customers and transparent satisfaction indicators such as the Net Promoter Score (NPS) enable STILL to continuously evaluate and optimise their services.

Availability is a central issue of fleet management in intralogistics – and a prerequisite for high customer satisfaction. After all, the smooth, reliable and increasingly optimised operation of industrial trucks is a crucial factor when considering the total cost of ownership.

As a result, aspects such as customer orientation and service are becoming important differentiators in global competition. STILL, the Hamburg-based expert for customised intralogistics solutions, has been committed to the maxim of customer focus ever since the company was founded more than 100 years ago. And to this day, the claim to be the most customer-focused supplier in the industry is firmly anchored in the company’s objectives. For good reason: Investing in an industrial truck is, after all, a long-term purchase and the equipment is usually in use for many years. Reliable and competent service during the time of use is an important guarantee for consistent availability and a partnership on an equal footing. “Customers often tell us that our excellent service is a key factor in their decision to choose STILL as their partner for intralogistics challenges,” explains Frank Müller, Senior Vice President STILL Brand Management.

Indispensable even in the digital age: personal contact STILL offers a comprehensive service network, more than 3,500 service technicians throughout EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and a wide range of smart service tools, also for predictive maintenance and vehicle-independent fleet management – but personal contact with the customer remains essential for long-term customer satisfaction. “From years of experience, we know how important it is for our customers to have a contact person who can be reached personally for all questions regarding vehicles, maintenance, repairs and further developments of their fleet,” explains Frank Müller. “Continuous dialogue is also essential for us to provide our customers with competent advice and to develop solutions tailored precisely to their needs for their individual intralogistical challenges.”

To objectively assess how satisfied customers really are with STILL’s products, solutions and services and to identify any areas that may need improvement, STILL has been conducting customer satisfaction surveys in all business segments continuously for more than twelve years. Following contact with STILL employees, services or products, such as a repair, customers are asked about their experiences and satisfaction in a structured telephone interview. In addition to service, the survey also covers product-specific areas such as new equipment, used equipment and rental. “The customer satisfaction survey is an important evaluation tool for us, as it assesses the work of our sales and service organisation directly and at first hand. I am all the more pleased that in the area of service, especially the aspects of service quality, response time and competence of the technicians are always rated very positively,” says Müller.

Transparent key figures ensure highest customer satisfaction The most important component of the customer satisfaction survey is the evaluation of the likelihood of customers recommending the company to others. For this purpose, STILL is using the NPS system. It was developed around 20 years ago and has since been used by leading companies around the world. The NPS is collected separately as part of the telephone customer surveys in all STILL business segments and provides information on a scale of zero to ten about how likely customers are to recommend STILL to others. The result of the evaluations is a score between -100 and +100, with an NPS greater than zero already representing a positive assessment.

In the past twelve months alone, STILL has conducted more than 23,000 such interviews across all business segments in 20 countries throughout EMEA – with results that impressively demonstrate that STILL more than lives up to its own claim: In the service segment, the NPS in the EMEA region currently totals a very good 59.7 (with around 18,000 interviews conducted in this segment). This clearly shows that the vast majority of customers would recommend STILL’s service to others.

Naturally, it is always best to receive praise. Nonetheless, STILL also sees critical customer reactions as a valuable opportunity. If criticism or dissatisfaction is expressed during an interview, the respective business unit is contacted personally by its regional contact person. The point of criticism is discussed in detail and a solution is found together. “Dealing with criticism in a solution-oriented way is essential for this,” explains Müller. “And in the process, we repeatedly find that it is often only minor adjustments that need to be made to resolve dissatisfaction and turn a critical customer into a satisfied multiplier.”

Modular Pallet Platform Upgrade

Interroll, a global leader in innovative material handling solutions, has enhanced its Modular Pallet Platform (MPP) to meet market demands for an increased load capacity, enhanced energy efficiency, reduced complexity of design and improved storage options for warehouse facilities.

Designed to revolutionise pallet handling, the MPP is a fully configurable system that offers reliable and efficient streamlined material flow. It is capable of transporting heavy pallets with ease, with a maximum weight capacity of 1,500 kilograms – increased from 1,200 kilograms. Tested to 1.5 million cycles at 1,500 kilograms, the system has been put through its paces and proven to operate without failure to the equivalent of 3 years of average use.

With a top of roller height starting from just 95 millimetres on some modules, the conveyor solution can be easily accessed by hand pallet trucks and forklift trucks, simplifying the process of loading and unloading pallets. The modular system offers a range of assembly heights and conveyor widths to fit individual customers’ specifications. Its Pallet Drive conveyor is available in a flat version with an integral motor. This saves space, reduces maintenance, and simplifies the conveyor’s overall design.

To transport pallets effectively, the MPP range includes modules such as 90-degree transfer units, and rotary turntables with encoders for accurate positioning. New advantages of transfers and turntables include simplifying the design and making installation and commissioning easier and faster. Transfer cars and stacker cranes offer a seamless interface with Interroll’s Dynamic Storage platform taking pallets from production to warehouse storage automatically.

Hilton Campbell, Managing Director of Interroll UK said: “MPP is the ideal solution for any end-user that wants to maximise operational space and efficiency. We’ve listened to feedback and have made improvements to the platform that tick off many of the points on our customers’ wish lists. Our aim is to use the available space more intelligently while minimising transportation times between different areas such as goods receipt, goods issue, storage, production, and picking areas. By automating these processes and simplifying planning, end-users can operate more efficiently.”

Operational and energy efficiency are key drivers behind the 2023 upgrades to the MPP. Energy-efficient DC drives are installed with options for decentralised conveyor systems via the Multicontrol and Pallet Control units. Gravity-powered rollers for dispatch lanes or accumulation conveyors utilise patented Magnetic Speed Controllers (MSCs) that use an eddy current braking system.

Interroll control devices for MPP utilise an analogue interface which enables Interroll’s zero pressure accumulation conveyor technology to be integrated into Industry 4.0 systems. This enhances overall automation functionality, data management, and operational efficiency.

OEMs, system integrators and end-users can benefit from Interroll’s layouter tool that quickly generates 3D layouts to see how the Modular Pallet Platform would work in the space available before ordering components. The tool generates a 3D model of the complete materials handling flow, allowing engineers to tweak the design and alter components to configure the perfect solution. A detailed Excel spreadsheet can be exported that details drives, sensors and specifications of all modules providing controls teams with accurate information to design their control systems.
Once the design has been confirmed, installation of the MPP is simple and straightforward, with the perfectly matched pre-assembled modules fitting together seamlessly. The modular nature of the system also enables easy and cost-efficient changes or upgrades to the material flow system in the future. Due to design simplicity, faster installation and commissioning can be achieved compared to previous versions, saving valuable time on site.

Campbell added: “The upgraded Modular Pallet Platform offers our most flexible solution for pallet handling. Customers can expect seamless material flow, high capacity storage, and enhanced productivity across a wide range of applications.”

Its optimal operating temperature ranges of -28 degrees Celsius to +40 degrees Celsius mean it can be used in a wide variety of warehouse environments, from ambient to deep-freeze environments.
