On a roll
November 1st 2006 Custom-built mobile dock lifts from Transdek are providing Clares Merchandise Handling Equipment with a versatile, cost-effective means of unloading new roll cages from trailers without tail-lifts at two Tesco distribution centres. Roll cages are delivered to the centres without loading docks, so equipment is needed to lower deliveries to ground level. However, equipment used must not obstruct Tesco's own delivery activities. To meet these requirements, Transdek has manufactured two mobile lifting platforms with a load capacity of 2.25t that can be easily wheeled away when not in use. Standard equipment was redesigned to give an extended lift height of 2.1m and working platforms measuring 2090mm x 3100mm to increase the number of cages that could be unloaded at a time. The ramps leading on to the platforms were also elongated for easier access. More articles from Transdek UK Ltd: |
