The Anel Corporation, based in Winona, Mississippi, is known for precision manufacturing. But behind the scenes, their team faced a critical challenge: their outdated forklifts couldn’t keep up with the demands of their growing business.
Read on to learn about the problems Anel faced and why Komatsu forklifts were the right solution.
About The Anel Corporation
The Anel Corporation is a custom manufacturing facility that specializes in fabricating tanks, hydraulic reservoirs and creating custom-engineered fixtures for the mining, earthmoving and material handling industries. The company has been in business for more than 60 years and has a well-earned reputation for reliability, quality and innovation.
The Problem: Harsh Conditions and Aging Equipment
Anel Corporation’s 80,000 sq. foot facility handles a wide variety of heavy materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. They need reliable, heavy-duty forklifts to deliver raw materials and keep their assembly lines going — ensuring products can be manufactured and delivered to their customers in a timely manner.
With Anel’s aging forklifts and company growth, they need equipment that could keep up with their workload and goals.
The Solution: Komatsu Forklifts from The Lilly Company
After assessing the weight and dimensions of Anel's heaviest materials, our team recommended Komatsu’s FG32SHT, 6500 lb. cushion forklift. The new forklifts include a 4-year/8,000-hour warranty, giving Anel added confidence in the reliability and dependability of their new forklifts.
The new Komatsu forklifts play a vital role in keeping Anel’s assembly lines moving. The forklifts’ daily tasks include:
- Feeding raw materials into the assembly line.
- Shipping and receiving
- Ensuring finished products and supplies are transported smoothly
