At Cannon Equipment, we adapt to fit your specific needs. Even though we have a complete line of after-the-filler handling machinery, we are always ready to custom design a particular piece of equipment or an entire material handling system to fit a specific need. No one does it better. Processors who have made a commitment to automated equipment for cart washing, loading, storage and order-picking are generating a profitable return on their investments. These successful processors are using cart automation, delivery and display systems to achieve operational efficiencies throughout the supply chain. Automated equipment and systems reduce handling costs for processors, while cart distribution allows for more efficient delivery, receiving, storage, stocking and rotation at retail locations.
