Large SPANCO Jib Crane Helps Keep Food Redistribution Forklift Fleet Running Efficiently

One of the nation’s largest food redistributors manages a 275,000 square foot facility that is used as a redistribution hub for dry, frozen and refrigerated food products. Because forklifts are a core component of the redistribution center, downtime due to maintenance can translate into a loss of profit. Installation of the SPANCO jib brought immediate value to the maintenance department. Daily battery change outs could be done more efficiently and no longer required the presence of two employees. Previously a motor change out took as long as an hour and a half could now be accomplished in 10 to 15 minutes.
