John Lewis uses
– part of the KNAPP Group – is operating at John Lewis’s new 675,000 sq ft Magna Park 2 distribution centre. The site features Dürkopp’s “trolley-less”
Dürkopp technology A
conveyor technology which enables both single items and blocks of garments to be transported on the same system. Also in use is Dürkopp’s RFID controlled Rolladapter system where every garment carries product information for tracking, picking and sorting. The system can carry some 380,000 items with a rotation capacity per buffer of 7,000 items per hour. Annette Sommer, General Manager UK at
Dürkopp, commented: “We are delighted that our proven technology means that – for the first time - John Lewis can process hanging garments at its MP2 campus and consolidate them with other goods for both store replenishment and online orders.”

ensure optimum performance and maximum productivity when handling materials on slip sheets. The B&B Fork Mounted Push Pull was developed to help unload containerised products that are not on pallets. Traditionally, containers that do not use palletised loads can take hours or days to unload. Now, with the use of slip sheets under the product, the push pull attachment can unload a container in a fraction of the time, using minimum numbers of staff with only one truck, saving both time and money. This unique Fork Mounted attachment is easily connected to a
T
conventional fork lift truck for efficient, pallet-less handling. It can then be swiftly disconnected to allow the forklift to return to handling pallets, ensuring highest truck utilisation possible.
