InTrek Logistics LLC announced that it has increased the keg capacity of its patented InTrek Keg Carousel by 20 percent, going from 10 sixth barrels in each carrier to 12 barrels in each carrier with a maximum height of 25 feet. The carousel also can accommodate as many as 204 sixth barrels and 136 half/quarter barrels at 25 feet, the company says. Other benefits include increased cube utilization that captures as much as 25 feet of existing vertical storage space with multiple floor pick locations; reduced equipment costs and reclaimed aisle space because the InTrek Carousel eliminates the need for forklifts and the wider aisle spaces needed for turning them; and increased floor access to pick faces because the kegs are ergonomically positioned for employees, reducing pick time and risk of injury. Because kegs are vertically stored, long aisle pick faces are eliminated along with dedicated pick lanes for keg SKUs, which increases productivity and decreases utility costs due to a lower footprint of cooler square-footage.
