Four goods lifts and a conveyor
system for handling in-coming stock
have been installed by European
Conveyor Systems at a national
distribution centre operated by DHL’s
Exel Supply Chain for Mothercare.

The goods lifts were specified to
carry up to four full pallets weighing a
maximum of 2000kg in total between
the ground floor and the mezzanine
levels. The lifts, which measure
2600mm wide x 2460mm deep x
2200mm high, have wooden wear
strips, light curtains and PIR sensors
that detect movement inside them to
optimise safe operation. No pit or
other civil engineering work was
required, so installation was quick
and involved minimal disruption.
