Installation of two Gebhardt goods
lifts at Amazon’s distribution centre
at Rugeley, takes the total number
installed by European Conveyor
Systems to 300. This includes multiple
installations for Debenhams, IKEA,
Next, Mothercare and other retailers.

Gebhardt lifts are free-standing
and self-contained, requiring no civil
engineering work or welding, and are
available in goods-only and
personnel versions with load
capacities from 500 to 2000kg in a
range of sizes. Maximum operating
height is 20m, and provision can be
made for up to six stopping places
and 12 access points. Features such
as interior lights and safety light
curtains can be included.

ECS has several more lift orders in
the pipeline for installation in 2013,
as well as major conveyor
installations for handling pallets,
cases and tote boxes.
