What We Provided Beyond Retail

Since its inception in 2011, Beyond Retail has continually evolved to meet customer expectations. They now boast a vast selection of over 20,000 products from 50 manufacturers and brands. Their team typically cater to the realms of bathrooms, kitchens, heating, and lighting. However, their expansive range of own-brand products specifically caters to the budget-conscious. This establishes them as a preferred destination for both homeowners and tradespeople.

Annually, more than 2 million individuals flock to their three online retail brands. However, the introduction of larger bathroom furniture and sanitaryware required expansion. For over a decade, Beyond Retail has relied on our expertise to find solutions in material handling during critical growth phases. In response to their latest needs, we recommended the Toyota 8FBMKT25. This is an 80-volt, 2.5-tonne electrically powered forklift truck. The truck has a tough steel "Comfort" cabin, which makes loading and unloading fast and easy in any weather.

Standard on all Toyota trucks, the System of Active Stability (SAS) ensures it remains among the safest and most efficient on the market. It also facilitates indoor and outdoor operations with its quiet, emission-free performance. The impact of the new Toyota forklift has been significant. It's enhanced their operational efficiency and enabled quicker, more reliable customer deliveries. To further support their expansion, we have since supplied them with two new Aisle-Masters. These have helped boost their capacity to manage more goods with the same precision and ease.

Toyota Traigo 8FBMKT25

The Toyota Traigo 8FBMKT25 is a benchmark in electric forklift technology. This 80-volt, 2.5-tonne electrically powered truck excels in operational efficiency and safety. Its robust steel "Comfort" cabin shields operators from adverse weather. This makes it ideal for swift loading and unloading activities. Like all Toyota trucks, it comes equipped with Toyota's System of Active Stability (SAS). This reduces the risk of accidents during operation by stabilising the load and truck during quick manoeuvres.

Aisle-Master 20NE

The Aisle-Master 20NE is for high-density storage, where saving space is critical. This narrow aisle forklift can navigate tight spaces with ease. Its inclusion on your site enables a far more efficient storage facility layout. Plus, its articulated design allows for exceptional manoeuvrability. This not only reduces the time it takes to move goods from storage to dispatch. It's vital for maintaining the flow of a large number of items, as seen in Beyond Retail's extensive inventory.

The Aisle-Master's introduction into their operations has led to a more streamlined, efficient, and safe handling of goods. In turn, this supports faster customer service and better overall satisfaction.
