Crown Forklifts Provide High Performance and Dependability in Frigid Temperatures

United States Cold Storage (USCS) makes the most of its warehouse space with high racking. The company needed to maximize productivity and efficiency in a warehouse where high reaches were commonplace. It also needed a durable lift truck to handle the rigors of a busy warehouse with a demanding 24/7 schedule and the harsh conditions of its temperature-controlled environment. The Crown RM/RMD Series reach truck was the key to USCS’ challenges.
With 38 facilities across 13 states, USCS provides frozen and refrigerated storage, transportation and logistics services to some of the largest American and international food producers. In its busy 498,000-sq-ft. cold storage warehouse facility in Bethlehem, Pa., the company employs 140 forklift operators working three shifts every day of the week in temperatures ranging from -5° F to 35° Fahrenheit.
