The consumer-driven dynamic is straining beverage applications – both in the facility and on the delivery route.
Sustainability goals are driving the change
Increased sustainability expectations that are driven by both customers and businesses alike who are seeking ways to support environmental efforts.
How can you take charge of the change?
- A quieter and cleaner alternative to diesel and LPG solutions.
- Support customers, businesses and suppliers whilst also supporting zero emission targets.

Optimised fleet utilisation
Coca-Cola Beverages has a main production facility and logistics centre in Prague with 8 other branches across the Czech Republic acting as distribution centres and providing interim storage.
Before talking to Hyster, the company had previously faced several materials handling challenges, for example:
- The company purchased trucks from multiple suppliers resulting in a mixed fleet, uneven utilisation rates and increased operational costs across the 9 sites
- High seasonal demand meant the fleet needed to expand at certain peak times.
- There was always a difficulty in getting hold of the right number and right type of truck on short term contracts.
- There were constant technical difficulties and rising service costs
Reliable forklift trucks for effective operations
SOBEBRA produces bottled beers, soft drinks and water. Over 500 employees work on the three production sites situated in Cotonou, Parakou and Possotomé in Benin, West Africa and the operation is supported by more than 100 seasonal workers.
The company requires forklift trucks for the transportation of empty bottles around the bottling plant, full bottles to the store, or directly to the loading dock and also to load and unload trucks.
