Atlet provides vital link.A fleet of Atlet trucks has formed a key link in the supply chain that Link Logistics operate for Farmfoods, the rapidly-expanding freezer food retailer. The trucks -- reach trucks, narrow-aisle trucks and powered pallet transporters -- were specified for their high performance, reliability and quality of service support provided by Atlet. Stock is handled for Farmfoods through Link Logistics' two Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs), one adjacent to Farmfoods' headquarters in Cumbernauld North Lanarkshire North Lanarkshire (Siorrachd Lannraig a Tuath in Gaelic) is one of 32 council areas in Scotland. It borders onto the north east of the City of Glasgow and contains much of Glasgow's suburbs and commuter towns and villages. -- where Link Logistics is itself based -- and the other at Coleshill in the Midlands. There is also a satellite depot at Bolton. Link Logistics has had this contract for six years, before which Farmfoods ran their own supply-chain operation.

This facility has developed substantially in response to Farmfoods' consistent growth throughout the UK. To maintain virtually non-stop operation Atlet have supplied each of Link Logistics' trucks with two batteries and have installed a custom-built battery-change facility. The powered pallet transporters are served by the one-man-operation Transfer Track system which uses a rail-guided trolley trolley: see streetcar. , equipped with a roller bed, to move spent batteries out of the truck, and recharged units in. The reach trucks use Atlet's winch-based Space Track, The truck battery is hooked-up to a recharged unit and as the spent battery is winched out the new battery is simultaneously drawn on board.
