“The Richardson Milling facility processes about 380 tons of raw oats a day” – Doug Stucky, plant manager

“When we built the distribution center, we didn’t have a lot of space to go horizontal. We have a lot of vertical space and Jungheinrich was able to get the capacity we needed to get to that upper level.
The (Jungheinrich) turret trucks (or swing reach forklifts) are being used to pick and pull product out of these racks.” – Kurt Eriksen, operations analysis

“The average weight we lift is between 2,000 and 2,500 lbs. When you get extremely high, and you get a lot of weight, you’ve got a harness on and everything is within hands reach. So, it’s easy to operate, and you’re never out of your comfort zone.” – Jason Holzwarth, distribution coordinator

“The (Jungheinrich) turret trucks have made our operation easier and also more productive for us.” – Kurt Eriksen

“I think the most important feature (of the swing reach forklifts) would be the navigation system. “– Jason Holzwarth

“Warehouse navigation takes a lot of time out of loading and unloading product from the racks. “ - Kurt Eriksen

“We simply punch in the location of the rack and the (Jungheinrich) turret truck (swing reach forklifts) does everything on it’s own.” – Cecil Bridges, distribution coordinator

“The (forklift) operators aren’t having to worry about driving the truck, they’re managing the data and making sure we’re getting the right inputs and right outputs either to the customer or to the operation.” – Dougy Stucky

“It’s approved our efficiencies as far as period-end counts. We know exactly what we have in the racks, where it’s located. It’s reduced our cycle count times by a great deal.” – Kurt Eriksen

“After a full shift, (the Jungheinrich turret truck) will still have 70-80% on the battery life.” – Cecil Bridges

“With the extended run times we’re able to get from the (Jungheinrich) turret trucks; we can go 3-4 shifts without having to plug them in to recharge them.” Kurt Eriksen

“We would whole-heartedly recommend this system, the (Jungheinrich) turret truck) and the warehouse navigation systems to anybody.” – Doug Stucky

“(Jungheinrich) stood out from the others. Reliability, service…the quality of the machine is top notch.” – Kurt Eriksen
