Every little helps new pod system
November 1st 2007 An unloading system from Easilift Loading Systems has been chosen by Tesco for the loading bays at its flagship environmental store in Wick, Scotland. Given the geographical location of the store it was imperative that the equipment chosen facilitated the use of both standard trailers and double-deck trailers which are the most cost effective and environmentally friendly method of transporting goods by road.The project comprises two lifting platforms, one of which is specifically designed to accommodate the fixed bed, high capacity double-deck trailers, loading pods, insulated sectional overhead doors and other associated equipment. The two free-standing modular pods are installed on the outside of the building's loading bays, flush to the external wall, minimising disruption and avoiding the loss of internal floor area. The fabricated side and roof frames are clad with insulated wall panels to create a sealed working environment. One pod contains a lifting platform 4000mm long x 2650mm wide, with a 6000kg capacity. It is designed to offload fixed bed double-deck vehicles and can accommodate 12 of Tesco's standard wheeled cages, measuring 500mm x 850mm x 750mm, or ten cages plus a member of staff.
