MovemanSKG installs heavy duty Titan goods lift at Apetito supplier of quality frozen food and catering solutions

MovemanSKG has installed a heavy-duty Titan goods lift at apetito ltd's

manufacturing plant in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. apetito is a global company

that supplies quality frozen food and catering solutions. It has over

8,000 employees and boasts an impressive ten year track record in growth

and sales.s.


apetito's main site at Trowbridge recently underwent a multi-million pound

refurbishment, which includes a two storey dispensary. Here, Titan

transports freshly prepared food mixtures to an upstairs storage area,

which distributes them to other production departments when required.


Titan lift helps the factory make over one million frozen meals every

week! Moving the heavy tubs of food mixtures to the upper level storage

area would be almost impossible without the lift.


Chris Page, Key Operative at apetito's Trowbridge facility, explains:

"Employees should not carry out excessive manual handling at work. It

leads to strain injuries known as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which

can be severe or long-term. movemanSKG's Titan reduces manual handling

requirements and helps keep our workers safe. It performs reliably despite

constant use - a real workhorse!"


"As food is prepared here, hygiene is of the utmost importance. We need to

keep our facility clean and prevent product contamination. movemanSKG

built our lift from stainless steel, which makes it easy to sanitise."


apetito's Titan travels nearly five metres and carries loads of up to

1000kg. It features a robust steel barrier around the base of the

platform, which helps operators to avoid damaging the lift when loading

goods on heavy trolleys or pallets.


The unit has bi-parting fire resistant doors on both landings, and a large

1500mm x 2000mm platform. User friendly controls mean workers can operate

the lift with minimal training.
