"With the LiftLiner we are able to improve general safety by reducing unnecessary forklift traffic in our terminal and, at the same time, improve the efficiency of moving parcels internally. Our workers gave excellent feedback. They praised the improved ergonomics when handling parcels and how easy it was to use the LiftLiner®"

Posti is Finland’s national postal operator and the leading delivery and fulfilment company in Finland, Sweden and the Baltics. It supplies 3 million households and companies daily. Its main sorting centre is located in Vantaa, near Helsinki, where average 140.000 shipments are handled daily.
As consumers and businesses are demanding speed, fluency, and convenience, Posti has needed to rethink the way it serves them. For instance, the company continuously works to develop its service network and digital solutions, as well as its sorting centers. Forklifts play an integral role in Posti sorting centers, but the heavy traffic can be a safety hazard.
By moving from forklifts to the K.Hartwall LiftLiner® tugger train, Posti Group managed to not only increase its productivity by almost 40%, but also to increase the safety of its employees.
Posti implemented two LiftLiner® tugger trains together with SmartCube® foldable cages that are placed on the Daughter Carts. Large non-sortable parcels are loaded in the SmartCubes, pushed onto the LiftLiner and then transported to conveyor belts on the other side of the sorting center. One tugger train replaces up to 6 forklifts making the process much faster.
