The "Intralogistics Oscars" competition is on
STILL nominated for the final round of the IFOY AWARD with two new innovations
Hamburg, 20 January 2023 - On March 27 and 28, the international IFOY jury will meet at the IFOY Test Days, held at the Test Camp Intralogistics in Dortmund, to decide on this year's winners of the IFOY award. Hamburg- based intralogistics supplier STILL is competing for the coveted trophies with its PXV vertical order picker and EXH hand pallet truck.
Both of STILL GmbH's entries have successfully passed the pre-selection process and have been nominated for the final round in March. The STILL PXV vertical order picker is a particularly compact truck that can be used very flexibly in both wide and narrow aisle warehouses. Its reach height of up to 14.5 metres is unique in the market and can be operated very efficiently thanks to high lifting speeds. When it comes to user- friendliness and comfort, the newly developed PXV also sets new standards. Intelligent assistance systems, such as the STILL OptiSpeed system for the highest possible travel speeds without compromising on safety, or the Easy Touch system, which regulates the order-picking height at the touch of a button, support operators very effectively in their daily work. Other assistance systems for even greater safety and efficiency on the trucks, which are available in numerous equipment variants, make the PXV the perfect choice for any warehouse.
Unique tiller head design
The EXH 14-20 Plus series, which was also nominated for the final round of the IFOY, can master countless logistical challenges: The hand pallet truck is ideal, for example, for the horizontal transport of goods, for last-mile deliveries, for truck loading and unloading through ramps or for sporadic order picking activities. The entire series can be equipped with either lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. What stands out above all is the unique tiller head design. The particularly generously designed buttons enable intuitive handling by any operator, no matter how large their hands are. The integrated display allows operators to keep track of all relevant vehicle data, such as the battery charge level, the operating hours or the respective driving programme. Without exaggeration, the optionally available touch display can be described as a revolution in the field of handling. It builds a bridge between smartphone operation and the operation of warehouse equipment. Or - to put it another way: With the touch display, a familiar everyday operating method is seamlessly transferred to the working world of intralogistics.
Winners remain secret until the IFOY AWARD Night
"This year we are once again taking part in the IFOY AWARD with very innovative new developments. I am really looking forward to seeing how the international, top-class jury will judge our entries," says Frank Müller, Senior Vice President STILL Brand Management. However, the brand manager will have to be patient until the results become public. As always, the winners of the contest will remain top secret until the actual IFOY AWARD Night.
