Case Study

Radmacher Kalksandsteine is a sand-lime brick production plant in Wendeburg, Germany. This family business has been producing sand-lime bricks using only sand, quicklime and water since 1963.

The blocks are hardened in 15-bar pressure autoclaves where more than 60 employees ensure continuous production in a three-shift, around the clock operation. The sand-lime bricks are manufactured in standard sizes as well as in varying dimensions dependent on customer requirements and specific building plans. Due to the demands of the application, including a climate that varies from -15°C in Winter to more than 30°C in Summer, the business tested various forklifts thoroughly before selecting new trucks..

Support the business with trucks to handle various sizes sand-lime bricks and to help ensuring a continuous, reliable process, from production to storage of the blocks.

The Hyster® dealer offered advice, fast service and relevant solutions to the Radmacher Kalksandsteine team including providing insight on technologies, such as the Hyster® “Cool Truck”.
