By the book lifting
02 December 2013
At the start of 2012 Penny Hydraulics was approached by Edward Adcock, head of book moving from the Bodleian Library to provide a specialist goods lift to help move large volumes of library and archive material owned by the University of Oxford from a basement stack in a building owned by the Rhodes House Trust, to ground level for transportation off-site.
Adcock was advised that a 250kg capacity Case Hoist would be the best goods lift for the job. The Case Hoist was easily and quickly installed in a coal shoot between the basement and ground level of the library to transport the material between the two levels
A bespoke platform for the Case Hoist was provided to securely accommodate the trolleys used to transport the collections from one site to the next, enabling a seamless transition from the basement to the transport vehicles.
