Twelve Bespoke stackers maximise efficiency & potential cost saving for Noble Foods an egg production & marketing company.
Who is Noble Foods?
Noble Foods was established in 1938 as a small family business collecting and selling eggs from local farms to local shops. Over close to the last century they have become the UK’s largest egg production and marketing company.

The Challenge
As part of an equipment upgrade, Noble Foods changed the way packed eggs were transported through the logistics chain to a new Merchandising Unit Shipper. This allowed the original MU Shipper to develop from a transportation device to becoming a complete MU Shipper being employed from the factory to the supermarket shop floor. In order to maximise the efficiency and potential cost saving of these MU Shippers through higher vehicle load utilisation and a reduction in warehouse space, the need to double stack the MU Shipper was required. Noble Foods approached Advanced Handling for a bespoke solution.
-
The Solution
After successful trials, Advanced Handling supplied twelve modified Voyager Freedom Stackers. The stackers enable Noble Foods staff to double stack the MU Shipper to increase vehicle load utilisation and increase available warehouse space.

The Benefits
This award-winning unit has an aluminium body making it both lightweight and durable. It also has the added benefit of being of modular construction which allows the unit to be transformed back to a standard stacker should the application change in the future.
Noble Foods have since worked with Advanced Handling to successfully solve other material handling issues experienced within the group.
