Heavy loads moved with ease by latest dollies
March 1st 2008 Wheeled platforms from
Schoeller Arca Systems
carry crate stacks safely,
swiftly and simply. Known as dollies,
they make for tidier work areas by
keeping containers off the floor and
help employees move heavy loads,
reducing the likelihood of them
suffering injuries through manual
handling.
Made from various materials,
including galvanised steel and high
quality plastic, the dollies have
different base versions, wheels and
castors to suit specific containers
and applications.
Schoeller Arca Systems' 400 x
600mm dolly, for example, is
popular in the retail industry. Used
for replenishing stock, it can replace
heavy metal roll cages that waste
storage space when empty and
allows staff to move goods from the
warehouse to the shop floor easily.
The dolly features a grooved base
that keeps containers secure and a
convenient deck height, which
makes for comfortable loading. It
requires little maintenance and is
easy to keep clean, leading to
higher productivity and increased
hygiene.
All Schoeller Arca Systems'
dollies are lightweight, hygienic and
suitable for use in cold stores and
freezers. They are robust, durable
and can withstand rough treatment,
making them suitable for industrial
environments.
Russell Smith, business sector
manager, says "Schoeller Arca
Systems' dollies reduce the risk of
injuries associated with manual
handling, increasing safety levels.
They are easy to implement and
have become standard equipment
for shops, warehouses and
distribution centres." More articles from Schoeller Arca Systems: |
