Expert Advice
Crown Equipment has helped Montague find the right material handling solutions for a number of different sites and provides ongoing consultative expertise.
“When you take into consideration the cost of equipment, if the operators find it more comfortable and user-friendly and the management team likes working with it, then the equipment lasts a lot longer. People take care of it because they actually like it.”

Montague Cold Storage
Application
Montague Cold Storage operates seven large-scale facilities in Victoria and Tasmania. The company manages over 140,000 pallet spaces for a number of high profile customers using an array of Crown lift and reach trucks in its 24-hour, minus-20 degree storage facilities.
Challenge
Montague Cold Storage requires reliable and durable material handling equipment which minimises downtime, as well as premium fleet management technology to help maximise the efficiency of its staff and equipment. The equipment is used in sub-zero temperatures 24 hours a day.
Solution
Montague is using a growing Crown fleet consisting of RMD 6000 Series reach trucks and RC Series stand-up counterbalance forklifts.
The company has found additional value in the use of Crown’s InfoLink Operator and Fleet Management System, which provides accurate, up-to-date business metrics to fleet managers.
