    Interstate Cold Storage (ICS) is enhancing operational efficiency by integrating two state-of-the-art reach trucks into its Columbus II facility in Columbus, Ohio, in an effort to “streamline and optimize” warehousing and logistics processes.

    “At Interstate Cold Storage, our unwavering commitment to continuous improvement is the driving force behind our progress,” Charles Betts, ICS national sales manager, said in a news release. “This latest investment serves as a testament to our dedication. These new reach trucks not only expedite pallet movement, greatly improving overall efficiency, but also contribute to a safer workplace for our valued employees.”

    The reach trucks are now operational and already delivering tangible improvements at the Columbus II facility, Betts added.

    In addition to the Columbus II location, ICS operates another Columbus facility on Roberts Road, a warehouse in Napoleon, Ohio, and two facilities in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
