While the world keeps moving, so does the drinks industry. Breweries, distilleries, and winemakers across the country continue crafting their finest beverages, ensuring that their products are ready for distribution when the time comes. However, handling these barrels efficiently and safely presents a significant challenge, particularly in busy environments where time is of the essence and safety is a priority.
At Jofson, we understand the precision and care that goes into handling barrels of beer, whiskey, wine, and cider. These heavy, cumbersome casks require specialist equipment to move them quickly, safely, and without risking product damage or worker injury. That’s why we provide bespoke barrel-handling solutions tailored to the needs of the drinks industry.
Whether as standalone equipment or forklift attachments, our handling solutions are designed to quickly move barrels of all shapes and sizes, ensuring seamless integration into your operations.
