Briggs Equipment partnered with Carlsberg Britvic to support warehouse operations through the delivery of a modern materials handling fleet and responsive on-site engineering support. Operating within a high-volume distribution environment, the partnership focused on improving fleet reliability, reducing downtime, and increasing operational efficiency across day-to-day warehouse activity.
The Partnership
As one of the UK’s leading drinks businesses, Carlsberg Britvic operates within a fast-paced logistics environment where maintaining uptime and operational continuity is critical. To support these demands, Briggs Equipment delivered a tailored materials handling solution designed to keep warehouse operations moving efficiently during periods of peak activity.
The collaboration centred around supplying a fleet of Yale forklift trucks alongside a dedicated engineering and service support package. Through preventative maintenance programmes, rapid-response technical support, and ongoing fleet management, Briggs Equipment worked closely with Carlsberg Britvic to maximise equipment availability while minimising disruption across the site.
The Approach
Our approach began with understanding the operational pressures and servicing requirements within the warehouse environment. By working collaboratively with on-site teams, Briggs Equipment developed a support structure focused on maintaining productivity, improving visibility over servicing schedules, and ensuring engineers could respond quickly whenever support was required.
Dedicated field technicians provided ongoing assistance throughout busy production and distribution periods, helping to maintain consistent fleet performance across the operation. This proactive and customer-focused approach enabled the site to reduce unplanned downtime while strengthening day-to-day operational resilience.
The Outcome
The partnership delivered measurable improvements across the warehouse operation. Through structured maintenance support and responsive engineering expertise, fleet reliability improved significantly, helping Carlsberg Britvic maintain operational performance during periods of high demand. Faster engineer response times also contributed to stronger operational continuity and increased efficiency across warehouse activity.
Part of our commitment at Briggs Equipment is supporting customers with tailored solutions that improve operational performance and long-term reliability. By combining dependable forklift technology with dedicated engineering expertise, Briggs Equipment helped create a more resilient materials handling operation capable of supporting Carlsberg Britvic’s ongoing logistics requirements.
