Bespoke solution for Tesco
March 1st 2008 When Tesco needed a method of
loading and unloading its new fleet
of high capacity double deck
trailers, used to transfer goods
between distribution centres,
Easilift Loading Systems came
up with a solution.
Working with a major UK lift
supplier, it designed a modular
dock pod loading system
incorporating a scissor lift to
handle fixed deck trailers.
The free-standing pods are
installed flush to the outside of the
distribution centres, 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, with
electrically-operated sectional
overhead Powerdoors fitted to the
front and rear of each pod.
Tesco chose a similar system for
its flagship environmental store in
Wick, Scotland. This comprises
two modular loading pods, a 12
cage lifting platform for fixed bed,
high capacity double-deck trailers
(used by Tesco to save on delivery
road miles), a scissor lift, insulated
sectional doors and associated
equipment.
It was designed, built and
installed to meet Tesco's specific
requirements More articles from Easilift Loading Systems Ltd: |
