Crown’s TSP Series Increases Capacity, Efficiency and Productivity

During a massive expansion, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits (SGWS) was looking to make the most out of the additional square footage, implementing very-narrow aisles with nine levels of racking. Crown’s TSP Series very narrow aisle turret truck enables SGWS to store more product and meet the growing customer demand. Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits is a family owned and operated supplier and distributor of alcoholic beverages.
