FKI Logistex is humming after a big-ticket contract for equipment leasing and maintenance.

FKI, a global leader in integrated material handling solutions, and has won a contract to supply FKI Logistex Condor very-narrow-aisle (VNA) automated storage-and-retrieval systems (AS/RS) for six new Preferred Freezer Services facilities planned for 2007. With the new contract, more than 100 FKI Logistex Condor cranes will be in operation in Preferred Freezer's full-service public refrigerated warehouses in locations across the United States.

In addition to the equipment contract, FKI Logistex has implemented a fixed-price, full-service, parts-and-maintenance contract for all Preferred Freezer sites using the Condor system. The agreement annually budgets preventive maintenance while providing complete coverage for everyday and predictive maintenance, normal-use parts, and emergency breakdown repairs. Rather than Preferred Freezer hiring and training its own skilled personnel, FKI Logistex will absorb all the responsibility for service and maintenance.

The FKI Logistex Condor high-bay VNA solution is a hybrid crane that stores and retrieves pallet-size loads in very narrow aisles.
