Cork is home to some of the biggest pharma and medtech sites in Europe, in Ringaskiddy, Little Island and Carrigtwohill, alongside Musgrave's distribution centre on Tramore Road and the Port of Cork's container terminal at Ringaskiddy.

What works on Cork sites
- Pharma and biologics plants in Ringaskiddy, Little Island and Carrigtwohill handle materials indoors in GMP areas, where emission-free electric pallet trucks and stackers avoid exhaust and LPG fumes.
- Medtech manufacturers and their suppliers need compact electric stackers and order pickers for clean, tightly racked component stores.
- Reefer and chilled supply chains feeding the Ringaskiddy terminal and food distributors need trucks that keep working in cold stores, where lithium batteries hold charge better than lead-acid.
- Busy multi-tenant estates like Little Island suit lithium-ion trucks that can be topped up during breaks across two shifts.
