The productivity and efficiency of the C-5 Series enabled Bariani to reduce their forklift fleet while handling increasing demand.
The C-5 Series’ ergonomics and convenient controls provide operators with all-day comfort during the harvest season’s long working hours.
The Crown support team provided a worry-free customer experience, from the selection and delivery of the forklift to application support and planned maintenance.
Owner – Bariani Olive Oil
Bariani Olive Oil, located in Zamora, CA, is an organic olive oil producer that maintains their own farming and bottling systems. Operating on 73 hectares, the family-run business produces about 150,000 liters of registered and certified organic olive oil annually.
As a small family owned company, Bariani looks for every efficiency. During the busy harvest season, crews work 20-24 hours per day for months at a time, placing high demand on the company’s forklifts. The company previously relied on older counterbalance forklifts that were very inefficient. Bariani soon realized their forklifts were not able to keep pace with increasing demand.
After visiting Crown at the World Ag Fair in California, Bariani Olive Oil decided the Crown C-5 Series forklift was the best fit for their demanding environment. The durability, performance and ergonomics of the C-5 Series, matched with the Crown support team have enabled Bariani to increase its productivity and efficiency. The company happily discovered just one C-5 Series forklift was able to do the job of two of its previous forklifts.
