Addressing Critical Operational Challenges
Temperature-controlled environments create harsh conditions for equipment and operators alike, while strict food safety protocols require machinery that minimizes contamination risks. Selecting the right forklift for the food distribution industry means prioritizing equipment that can withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining reliability and performance standards.

Equipment reliability is paramount in refrigerated and freezer applications where downtime directly impacts product integrity. Traditional lift trucks often struggle with condensation, reduced battery performance in cold temperatures, and accelerated wear on components.
Maximizing Space and Throughput
Maximizing Space and Throughput
As product variety expands and order profiles shift, warehouse layouts must evolve. Narrow aisle configurations, higher racking systems and dense storage patterns help maximize capacity, but these designs require highly maneuverable equipment with visibility and precision controls.
Operations handling both raw ingredients and finished goods need a versatile forklift that can adapt to diverse material handling requirements. And when your forklift requires maintenance, Barclay is here to help. With 24/7 service available, you can have a technician on the floor in no time to ensure your equipment is operating efficiently.
