Food & Beverage Cold Storage

Stay Cold Without Losing Efficiencies

Whether you’re part of the production facilities, third-party logistics, or even blast cell operations, ensuring your food and beverage cargo remains chilled is vital to the success of your operation. With more complexity than other logistics industries, cold storage is susceptible to additional challenges. It’s important to get ahead of the bottlenecks by ensuring your fleet of equipment is up for the challenge. 

When you’re gearing up for transportation, we offer three-wheel stand and end rider options to make loading and unloading easy. For storage, utilize a reach truck, a moving mast reach truck, or a very narrow aisle turret truck, all depending on your storage facility. For fulfillment, take advantage of our end rider, multi-level order selector, and walkie stacker equipment to get orders handled. If you’re looking for a solution in your docking process, consider a walkie pallet truck or four-wheel electric sit option. With products from Combilift, Hyster, Yale, and AisleMaster, you can count on our fleet to solve your needs.

At Alta Material Handling, we’re proud to deliver a wide array of solutions for your cold storage needs!

Our team will collaborate closely with yours to create custom solutions that will improve your material handling and order fulfillment processes.
