Manitou’s Precise Handling the advantage for Wildgoose Storage

A Manitou MLT629T is the perfect answer for Wildgoose Storage, as precision and smoothness is the ‘order of the day’ when it comes to handling the palletised eggs and other produce which have to be offloaded from lorries before being placed into storage facilities prior to being loaded onto other lorries for distribution .

Wildgoose  Storage’s  current MLT629T is their fifth Manitou since 1974. The compact size of the MLT629T with 20“ tyres is ideal for working in the yard, the smooth controls and precise hydraulic system ensures the Manitou is ‘very gentle’ with the pallets of egg and other products. 

The Wildgoose family are fully involved in the storage and farming business with husband and wife team Bill and Angela heading up the enterprise with sons James and Alan both playing vital roles. Established in 1952, the family farm is well located 1.5 miles from Junction 29 of the M1. All the secure storage buildings are based within their 4 acre site in Glapwell, Derbyshire, with seven ambient and two chilled stores. Storage capacities range from 320 sq. feet to 5,000 sq. feet.

The Manitou enables the company to deal with any volume of deliveries.
As well as the storage facility, 40 acres of arable crops are grown on the adjoining land plus seasonal farm contracting work which all add to the demand for the Manitou.
