Roll cages for economical home delivery

Home services and online orders are booming when it comes to food, as well as in other sectors. Today’s customers appreciate the convenience of home delivery. Fresh and frozen food should be delivered to homes punctually, reliably and above all efficiently, and with no additional costs. Completely new concepts and solutions are needed for retailers, vehicle manufacturers and logistics suppliers. With its HD Flitzer®, automotive supplier Kiesling Fahrzeugbau has created a versatile Sprinter van with lots of space for shopping, and a smart concept with multiple doors for quick loading and efficient unloading. Wanzl roll cages support the pre-picking, supplying, loading, delivery and unloading aspects of home delivery.

Around 350 roll cages are currently on the road with HD Flitzer®. The key factor is the number of picks per hour – it is a reliable, efficient indicator of success. This is how the whole process works: ordered goods are pre-picked for home delivery, packed into Euro crates and taken to the loading ramp on Wanzl roll cages. Magnets connect the individual containers into one large, manoeuvrable package. The connected containers are then quickly pushed through the rear doors into the HD Flitzer®, which immediately sets off on its daily, route-optimised fresh food delivery run, direct to the customer. When making stops along the way, the side doors provide easy access to each of the three mobile containers, which also act as flow racks. All this is very quick and easy, with no need to climb into the cargo space. All shelf compartments are easily accessible, and if necessary allow chaotic access, for example if there are last-minute changes to the run. Sounds great; and works like a dream. This development is the work of experienced companies such as Kiesling Fahrzeugbau, which specialise in the manufacture of refrigeration modules and refrigerated distribution solutions.
