The reach truck and counterbalance forklift supplied to Giraffe Distillers.

Built on the heritage of Bottomley Distillers

Giraffe Distillers was founded on the heritage of Bottomley Distillers and is home to the award-winning Pin Gin. In spring 2023 the company launched the Louth Distillery, its consumer brand, home to an eighteen-still gin school and a setting for public, private and corporate events.

State of the art

The 24,000 sq ft distillery houses stills from 100 to 5,000 litres feeding a combined blending capacity of 50,000 litres, run through HMI screens and bespoke software so that spirit of the highest quality is made consistently, safely and sustainably.

Room to grow

A dedicated storage warehouse next to the distillery and bottling hall holds stock and raw materials on three-storey racking, which is where the reach truck earns its keep. The production team has grown from three to eleven since April 2023, five of whom are now forklift certified.

How can we help you?

Whatever the site needs, new or used, forklifts, pallet trucks or scissor lifts, our team are on hand to specify it.
