Postnord logistic - An effective and safer workflow
PostNord is at the forefront of the Nordic logistics sector, with about 8000 distribution terminals across the Nordic region. In 2021 alone, they delivered over 226 million packages. Postnord Logistic workflow is more effective and safer thanks to TAWI lifting solution.
Postnord Logistic: An effective workflow
The logistics sector is thriving, requiring facilities and processes to work smarter and faster as the number of packages and boxes only seems to rise. For the last 15 years, Postnord has continuously invested in its logistics workflow with smart lifting solutions from TAWI in almost all of its terminals.
TAWI lifting solutions at Postnord
They currently have thirteen TAWI lifting solutions installed in their distribution terminal in Jönköping, Sweden, in different spots where parcels must be handled quickly and easily. About half of the installed lifters are different variants of the High-Frequency Lifter and the Telescopic Mounted Unloader.
Why choose the lifting equipment from TAWI?
Jonatan Floss, service engineer at PostNord, says the most important aspects for PostNord when choosing a supplier and type of lifting equipment are ease of use and safety. He has over ten years of experience within the organisation, working with unloading parcels using vacuum lifters and container unloader solutions, and then continued his career as a service engineer.
"It makes a huge difference using the vacuum lifters, especially for the arms and shoulders. You have more energy at the end of the shift."
The industry serves continuously fast, and it's expected to have a high staff turnover. Regularly onboarding new team members requires the equipment used within the terminals to be user-friendly and easy to learn - where the TAWI lifting equipment checks the boxes.
Being easy to manoeuvre and learn eases the onboarding and training of new employees. Additionally, it encourages the workers to use the equipment, which results in fewer reports of sick leave caused by strain injuries due to heavy and repetitive lifting. The vacuum lifters open the workforce and encourage anyone to do tasks previously limited to only the most vital staff members. Anyone can now work with parcel handling, making the recruitment process easier and faster.
