We worked closely with a tire manufacturer to help them design and improve the way they were distributing their product line throughout the plant with our custom industrial trailers. Due to the fact that they had many different size tires coming off the lines, we needed to surmise how big the deck of the trailers needed to be in order to move “X” number of tires per trailer. Once we came up with that number, we had to make sure that the tires were contained and secure during transportation. We accomplished this by making removable sides so the tires could be easily loaded. We also made the sides high enough based on the number of tires that had to be transported per each trip. With the removable sides, our customer was able to load from any side depending which direction they approached the line.With providing them 10 custom trailers and 2 electric tuggers, we were able to increase efficiency and productivity by 40% as well as reducing their forklift fleet by 3.
