Sewera Polska Chemia: Katowice, Poland

“The conditions at our warehouses differ, but the trucks are chosen in such a way that they always perform well, regardless of the branch in which they work. An example of this is the use of three stage masts, thanks to which we can be sure that the trucks will be able to pass through areas with low ceiling heights. Therefore, even in the event of moving the forklift truck to a different location, we are sure that it can work in the new environment,” says Danuta Zdancewicz, Operational Manager at Sewera Polska Chemia.

Due to the large number of operations performed outside, particularly in autumn and winter, many of the trucks have also been fitted with in-cabin heating. “This is not a standard feature, but taking into account the particular demands of our work, we requested the heated cabin option to increase operator comfort while preventing condensation,” adds Danuta.

Initially, Sewera Polska Chemia used long-term rental services, but for the last two years the company has purchased equipment, and in doing so has increased the lifting capacity across the fleet from 2000kg to 2500kg per truck.

“When thinking about buying forklifts we always try to look ahead a few years so that we do not limit ourselves to solving only the problems we face here and now. Bearing in mind the development of the company, we try to predict what problems our forklifts will have to deal with in, say, five years.

“Every time we exchange one truck for a new one, we meet with Emtor who look at the specifics of the work and analyse our needs. Thanks to this, they are able to quickly see certain elements that can be optimised and will offer us the best solutions,” Danuta concludes.

This flexibility and understanding of Sewera Polska Chemia’s needs, coupled with the ability to respond with tailor-made solutions is one of the main reasons for the company’s long-term cooperation with Emtor.

Sewera Polska Chemia has truly valued the benefits of having a close working relationship over the years with the Yale dealer, and the reliability of Yale forklift trucks it provides. In the case of these two companies, one can undoubtedly say their relationship continues to go from strength to strength.
