Application

Guan Chong Bhd, which produces cocoa-derived food ingredients including cocoa mass, cocoa butter, cocoa cake and cocoa powder, runs a busy material handling operation exporting its products to Europe, the Middle East, China, Japan and other Asian countries from its facility in Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia.

 

Challenge

The management of Guan Chong’s 10,000 pallet spaces – which are in use 12 hours per day with 200 daily dispatches seven days a week – is carried out by a large number of contracted staff. The company requires a flexible material handling equipment solution that can maximise the benefit of the company’s contractors, while providing uptime, reliability, comfort and safety 12 hours per day.

Solution

Guan Chong has been using a full material handling solution from Crown for over 10 years. The company’s fleet includes Crown RMD and RD Series reach trucks, PE Series rider pallet trucks and CG Series LPG counterbalance forklifts.

Guan Chong rents its equipment from Crown to best match staff numbers in busy periods.
