About Parvalux

Parvalux is the UK’s largest manufacturer of fractional-horsepower, geared, electric motors and is supplying OEM’s worldwide in markets including Industrial Automation, Materials Handling and Building Automation. The company has been in business for more than 70 years and is part of the maxon group.

The challenge

Parvalux defined ambitious growth targets and therefore set out to building a brand-new facility in Poole, UK. To optimize the material flow Parvalux was also looking into implementing new equipment and machinery.​ With the new building the company operates on a much bigger square footage and therefore it was essential to find a solution that gets much more material to the production lines in time.​ The delivery, storage, picking and production area is spread over two floors. Therefore, Parvalux needed to ensure that the​

  • transport solutions are compatible throughout the facility
  • new equipment and machinery can be used to create the most efficient routes on both floors
  • solutions are scalable in order to adapt fast to changing production rates
  • equipment complies with the high Health & Safety standards and are ergonomic to use

The solution

Parvalux identified that the LiftLiner® is vital for the business and can handle the fast material transport required in the new facility. The company implemented two LiftLiner® tugger trains as well as K.Hartwall load carriers, such as Daughter Carts and elephantboards®.

Products used

Parvalux implemented two LiftLiner® tugger trains along with compatible K.Hartwall load carriers to support fast, efficient material transport in their new facility. The solution enabled easy loading from both sides, excellent manoeuvrability, and movement between floors, even in tight spaces. With a fully electric system and the ability to combine different loads on one train, the company streamlined internal logistics while reducing maintenance costs.
