FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS
WAREHOUSING
WHEN ONE OF SOUTH AFRICA’S LARGEST ONLINE STORES
wanted a faster, safer,
more efficient and economical way to handle new category products, while complementing
its current products and methods of picking and transporting products internally, Corporate
Renaissance Group Supply Chain Services (CRG SCS) suggested the Loadhog Pally.
The 800x600mm robust Pally, with a 250kg capacity, fitted the bill and the first contract
was signed. Hundreds of Pallys were supplied to this store and now transport a range of
goods internally in Kalahari’s distribution centre in Cape Town. Following significant growth,
a further quantity of Pallys is being rolled out to Cape Town, with a substantial quantity
purchased for its second centre in Johannesburg.
Unlike any other pallet, a one foot press on pedal at either end of the stackable Pally transforms
it from a pallet into a wheeled dolly, for instant mobility. A second pedal press returns the
Pally to a pallet, lifting the wheels clear of the floor, transferring all the weight onto the pallet
bearers to create a stable, secure unit for easy and fast product picking.
Annes Schreuder, head of operations at Kalahari, said: “The Pally is a great solution when we
need flexible storage and movement options, especially in an environment with low levels of
automation and high product variability.”
CRG SCS offers complete turnkey projects, not only including software and tracking systems
but also the racking and material handling equipment and the operationaliation of the
solutions specified, in partnership with their clients. The company has continued to grow,
following its success in servicing the local market and has worked on projects for the MIH
group, which includes Kalahari. Since then, Loadhog South Africa has been established to
provide material handling solutions, extending the Loadhog capability into the local market.
