Easilift's biggest load

Reported to be the largest single order ever placed in the UK for its loading bay equipment, Easilift Loading Systems has recently completed a bespoke solution for Tesco's new grocery distribution centre in Daventry Easilift, already an existing supply partner to Tesco, was recruited to take care of the 800,000ft2 facility's widespread and complex loading dock requirements.

Working closely with Tesco and the main contractor Volker Fitzpatrick, Easilift project-managed the installation of 40 double deck lifting platforms and 100 dock leveller bays, all housed in external loading pods.

Each of the double deck bays incorporates a heavy duty, surface mounted 16,000kg lifting platform, capable of carrying up to 30 roll cages.
