The Challenge
Mumford Farms, a thriving agricultural business in Victoria, was facing a substantial operational bottleneck in their day-to-day activities. Access to their coolrooms was slow and cumbersome due to manually operated doors.
Each entry and exit involved a time-consuming procedure: stopping the forklift, the operator disembarking, manually opening the cool room door, driving through, disembarking again to close the door, and then resuming their task. This manual process was not only inefficient but also raised concerns about temperature control and potential air loss each time the doors remained open for extended periods.
The Solution
Recognising the specific needs of Mumford Farms, REMAX Doors recommended their Movidor HS35s for the coolrooms. These high-speed doors were designed to address the very issues Mumford Farms was grappling with.
The Results
With the installation of the Movidor HS35s, Mumford Farms experienced a noticeable uptick in operational efficiency. The once tedious process of accessing the coolrooms was transformed into a seamless experience.
Forklift operators no longer had to interrupt their workflow to manually open or close doors, leading to significant time savings. The enhanced temperature control brought about by the rapid operation of the doors ensured that the farm’s produce remained fresh, and energy costs were optimised.
