Working
collaboratively to support end-users
We’re proud of our manufacturing and service engineers. They go above and beyond to work seamlessly with customers to deliver a range of manufacturing and engineering services. These include forklift attachment service and maintenance; after-market safety installations and tailored commercial solutions to meet specific, and sometimes complex operational needs.
Abbey is helping organisations involved in food and drink manufacture to overcome everyday challenges. In particular, the need to work to tight timescales, reduce waste, and meet the highest standards of hygiene and regulatory compliance.
Retail logistics and handling finished goods is a fast-paced process, and warehouses are typically high-traffic environments. Abbey’s forklift attachments and material handling safety solutions are helping to improve efficiencies, reduce accidents and lower costs.
A lack of adequate infrastructure, unclear regulations, financial constraints and an ever-changing climate are just some of the challenges faced by this industry. Abbey’s material handling solutions are driving safety and productivity.
Against a background of raw material shortages and universal price increases, key players in the production of paper and board in the UK are reducing damage and driving efficiencies with material handling solutions from Abbey.
These industries often deal with non-standard unpredictable load profiles and tight delivery schedules. Abbeys forklift weigh systems and data recording solutions help them to track goods, improve safety and efficiency, and achieve more accurate customer billing.
Abbey’s material handling solutions are facilitating the implementation of faster, leaner processes in pharmaceutical manufacture. They are helping organisations to move products as efficiently and hygienically as possible with the least damage.
In combination with other solutions, Abbey’s mobile weighing systems are helping manufacturers to achieve accurate dosing and legal for trade weighing. ATEX options mean these activities can also be undertaken in harsh, and potentially explosive environments.
This industry’s use of heavy equipment is linked to increased health and safety risks. Abbey’s range of material handling safety solutions is helping to drive efficiencies whilst reliably protecting people and assets.
Abbey’s technical team works closely with major forklift OEMs to design solutions that align with their latest developments. We support them with documentation and installation procedures for optimum performance and quality.
In an industry with complex supply chains and where operational efficiency is a critical success factor, Abbey is providing invaluable support. Solutions include capturing and transferring weight data into WMS systems to support smooth and safe workflow.
A high degree of product and service reliability and integrity is essential in this industry. Abbey’s material handling solutions are facilitating safer product handling and creating visibility of process for forklift drivers.
Precision is critical in this industry. Abbey’s technical team combines high standards with innovative thinking to optimise material handling activities in challenging environments, including bespoke solutions for operational safety in combat zones.
