CJ Lang and Son Ltd
CJ Lang and Son Ltd store and deliver all the everyday items its customers could need. Part of the SPAR UK network, they service over 100 of their own retail stores as well as over 250 independent stores across Scotland and the islands from their 180,000 sq. ft. multi-temperature distribution centre in Dundee.
Having recently replaced their whole fleet of manual handling equipment to more modern equipment and technology, they found that their existing battery charging infrastructure, a mixture of older 50 Hz and High Frequency (HF) technology, was inadequate and inefficient for their latest MHE fleet. The existing battery chargers were also very large and needed a lot of space within their distribution centre.
CJ Lang and Son Ltd already have an established sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme so they were also looking for a battery charging solution that would fit these programmes in terms of reducing their carbon footprint and the impact on the environment as well as reductions in their energy usage and costs.
I liked how Fronius’ charging concept aligned to our MHE replacement strategy & CSR programme. The energy efficiency and emissions reductions benefits were the main reasons for choosing the product alongside the quality of manufacturing and design. Our experience of dealing with Fronius was very good, I would recommend them and so far we are very pleased with the support and the product
