Tractive Pusher Rolls out for Romiley

Romiley board mill have taken delivery of a Tractive unit to address their manual handling issue of moving there paper rolls. Romiley board mill is a privately owned Board Mill, manufacturing unlined chipboard and a variety of integrated cardboard product ranges. With increasing production Romiley have been producing larger rolls of cardboard which in turn has meant increasing loads to be moved. Romiley contacted Tractive Power as they had recognised an increasing issue in moving their heavy cardboard rolls within the production area. The 3,000kg rolls needed to be moved from the end of production line to the collection point, where the forklift trucks would take them to the warehouse. Previously the rolls were loaded on to a railed trolley and moved by the workforce manually along the purpose built track. The larger loads were recognised by Romiley as becoming increasingly difficult for the workforce to move and decided there was a need to implement a cost effective way of eliminating the manual operation to streamline the production and create a safer operation for the workforce. Tractive Power visited site and provided a free demonstration and trial for Romiley to assess the effectiveness of the Tractive Pusher. After a week of use it was apparent the TP250 was the perfect answer, The Tractive Pusher is now used every 20 minutes day in day out in their 24 hour operation and performs faultlessly. John Johnson of Romiley commented, " now the workforce have the Tractive Pusher they simply will not do without it".
