The food and drink sector is one of the most tightly regulated and monitored industries, subject to ever-evolving health and safety rules and regulations. Which is why new BFFF member Contact Attachments Ltd, based in Newtown, Powys, stresses how vital it is for manufacturers to invest in the right equipment.

In a bid to help fellow members stay ahead of the game and avoid potential pitfalls, they’ve put together a handy guide on the ‘Top Five Benefits of Using Specialised Forklift Attachments in Food and Drink Manufacturing’.

Mark Jones, Technical Sales Advisor at Contact Attachments says:
“The frozen food sector is subject to particularly time-sensitive logistics, along with its own unique set of challenges from working in sub-zero environments. It’s also an extremely competitive sector, with constantly changing consumer preferences, tight profit margins and considerable brand rivalry all adding an ongoing pressure to be at the forefront of innovation whilst keeping costs low. Investing in specialised forklift attachments isn’t just about upgrading your equipment – it’s about creating smarter, safer, and more cost-effective processes, which in turn will enable you to gain (and maintain) that competitive edge.

“From enhancing hygiene and safety compliance to increasing efficiency whilst reducing waste, our latest guide is packed full of information on why you should be paying close attention to the forklift attachments your operatives are using – ensuring they’re fit-for-purpose, compliant, and above all – safe. You can check it out here.

“At Contact Attachments, we’re always on hand and happy to help with expert advice and guidance, and over the coming weeks and months we’ll be sharing some top tips and recommended attachments to help BFFF members streamline their cold-chain logistics safely and with ease. We’d love to hear from our fellow BFFF members for a friendly no-obligation chat if they’d like to explore this subject further or have any specific questions for us.”
