This business case analyses the increase in efficiency of logistics at SedumExtra, a full-service provider for green roofs, through the use of KOOI®Reachforks from Griptech in combination with the Tine adjustment ZVRBy loading and unloading trucks on one side, SedumExtra was able to achieve a time saving of 20% and thus make its logistics significantly more efficient.
Logistics challenges without Telescopic forks in combination with the tine adjustment ZVR from Griptech: Space problems and time-consuming processes
Before implementing the Telescopic forks and tine adjustment ZVR SedumExtra was faced with the challenge of opening trucks from both sides to allow for smooth loading and unloading. This resulted in time-consuming maneuvers and space problems, especially in narrow or confined areas. These inefficient processes had a negative impact on the overall efficiency of logistics at SedumExtra.
Efficient logistics solution: Telescopic forks and tine adjustment ZVR eliminate time-consuming maneuvers
With the introduction of the Telescopic forks from Griptech in combination with the tine adjustment ZVR SedumExtra BV was able to find the solution to their challenges. This enables one-sided loading and unloading of trucks, eliminating the time-consuming detours. The driver only needs to open one side of the truck to complete the loading and unloading process.
Advantages:
- Time saving: Measurements in practice have shown that SedumExtra can be loaded and unloaded from one side with the KOOI®Reachforks Time savings of up to 20% were achieved. The elimination of the time-consuming shunting process enabled transport operations to be carried out more quickly and working time to be used more efficiently.
- Better use of space: One-sided loading and unloading of trucks has brought significant benefits, particularly in areas where space is limited. By opening only one side of the vehicle, SedumExtra was able to make the most of the available space and avoid space problems. This resulted in more efficient loading and unloading operations and enabled optimal use of space.
- Increase in efficiency: The implementation of the KOOI®Reachforks and Tine adjustment ZVR has helped to make the entire logistics at SedumExtra significantly more efficient. The time savings and better use of space enabled the company to optimize its operational processes.
Results:
Through the use of the Telescopic forks from Griptech in combination with the tine adjustment ZVR SedumExtra BV was able to achieve significant results:
- Cost savings: The time savings of up to 20% through one-sided loading and unloading led to an optimization of work processes and a more efficient use of available resources.
- Reduction of the risk of accidents: By eliminating unnecessary maneuvers, especially in narrow or confined areas, the risk of accidents within the vehicle has been reduced.
- More efficient use of space: One-sided loading and unloading meant that the available outdoor space could be used more efficiently and the areas intended for loading and unloading could be reduced.

SedumExtra
SedumExtra was founded in 2008 by Hans de Brouwer because he combined his hobby (plant cultivation) with the increasing demand for ready-to-use sedum cover. It started with 1 hectare in Belgium, 10 years later it was already grown on 25 hectares in Belgium and the Netherlands, which says enough about the successful growth of the company.
