A&P Eco-Material Handling Equipments
A&P eco-MHE is a private company which manufactures automated omni – directional forklifts. We
provide a wide range of customization and material handling solutions to customers globally. The
company uses mecanum wheels to give omni directional mobility to a lift truck. This allows normal
forward and backward motions like the conventional wheel, but also provides sideways motion and
rotation about it center of gravity. Our cutting edge technology will ensure high efficiency and quality
by obtaining high mobile accuracy and sustainable engineering.
The company exercises design for environment methodologies in order to reduce adverse effects on
the environment throughout the product life cycle. These methodologies are applied during the
design, manufacture as well as use of the product and that too without compromising over customer
requirements such as quality, reliability and price. Every material handling equipment we produce
confirms customer requirements at every stage of manufacturing. Every stage includes quality
checks and testing phases integrated within the manufacturing processes. The company ensures
use of high quality materials.
Product and process design is done by experts who exercise strong ethics on material management
and emphasis their work on reducing the volume of materials used. Robot arms are used in order to
achieve assembly accuracy and reduce errors. The lift trucks manufactured are solutions to low
material handling floor space. They work on 5 AC brush less motors and thus are almost noiseless
and cut the use of non renewable sources of energy. The product design involves uses of recyclable
materials such as the material used for the rollers of the mecanum wheel and the different panel
buttons. The company aims at constant improvement over planning, production and services.
The company focuses on sustainable development continually. It strives hard to achieve multiple
sustainability values simultaneously by encouraging diverse stakeholders.
