Delivery To Line

Kits or small quantity loads from the Supermarket are transferred on to trollies for transfer by trollies on to the Milk run (see separate presentation details on Milk Run).
If a Milk Run is not used full pallets can be transferred direct to the production line straight from the supplier or from the Supermarket using a counterbalance truck.
