Mobile lift January 1st 2008 A mobile dock lift from Transdek
UK is helping the United Co-op's
Talke regional distribution centre in
Staffordshire to recycle more of the
waste packing materials generated
by its 580 stores.
Large quantities of cardboard
are delivered to the RDC in roll
cages every day. Vehicles used to
be unloaded in the yard by tail-lift,
but this method was slow and tied
up drivers for too long.
Transdek installed a dock lift that
could handle cages more quickly
and could be moved to allow
access between warehouse and
yard. Retractable wheels were
fitted to each corner of the lift
chassis. No civil engineering work
was required.
The lift has an SWL of 4500kg
and enables one person to unload
a vehicle in 5min. More articles from Transdek UK Ltd: |
