This year Stanley Handling celebrates sixty years in the materials handling industry.
Formed by Norman Stanley and his wife in 1948 and still a family-run business, the company started life marketing a hand operated hydraulic tool and die handler for use in press shops. The company now leads the market, producing a wide range of materials handling equipment for clients in manufacturing, distribution and retail as well as a number of niche sectors.
The design and engineering of bespoke equipment solutions for highly specialised and demanding applications remains at the heart of the company’s product portfolio as does a firm commitment to quality and customer service.
Taking its name from the Latin for oak - implying the key elements of strength and dependability - the ROBUR range comprises the full spectrum of materials handling equipment from pallet trucks, work positioners, powered and counterbalanced stackers to forklift trucks and specialist and bespoke handling equipment.
The company is experiencing growing demand for its range of PowerMate powered stairclimbers. These are revolutionising handling, lifting health and safety standards and raising productivity in markets as diverse as white goods, office equipment, vending, the utilities and general distribution.
All of the company’s products are backed by industry-leading Service department that provides preventive maintenance agreements, product training, technical support and after sales care that demonstrates its strong commitment to thorough and professional customer service.
A detailed and easy-to-use mail order catalogue containing 25,000 essential lines for production, commercial and warehouse use is also available both in print and online.
