Mobile yard lift aids unloading
March 1st 2008 When catering equipment supplier
Nisbets took on two additional
temporary warehouses that did not
have raised loading docks, it
needed a safe, cost-effective
method of unloading container
vehicles.
The solution came in the form of
Truckloada mobile lifting platforms
from Thorworld Industries. The
version chosen for both
warehouses has a 2t capacity and
platform dimensions of 2000mm by
2450mm. It has a 1600mm lift
height and a minimum height of 46
to 56mm when lowered.
A member of the warehouse
team stands on the platform and
uses the push button hydraulic
controls to raise it to the height of
the container's floor. After the
goods, normally loose or in boxes
and crates, have been placed on it,
the platform returns to ground level.
The mobile yard lift is mounted
on four heavy duty bearing castors
which are locked to keep the
platform firmly in place during use.
When the locks are freed, it can be
quickly and easily pushed away
until it is needed again. More articles from Thorworld Industries: |
