Self-contained structure June 1st 2008 Loads between the ground
and first floors of the
central distribution hub
managed by DHL for Canon
at Coalville, Leicestershire,
are now moved by a freestanding
Transdek goods
lift. The new lift allows
Canon to access a
mezzanine floor, giving
additional storage space for
photocopiers and other
products. It is able to carry
loads of up to 1000kg.
The lift is a self-contained,
floor mounted structure. It
took less than two days to
install as it did not require a
pit or any civil engineering
work. It is powered by a
240V 20 amp
electricity
supply. The
overall height is
6700mm and
the lift is
designed to rise
4000mm. The
lift platform
measures
2400mm wide
x 1750mm
deep, and its
sides are lined
with plywood to stop goods
from catching in the steel
mesh that forms the shaft
sides. The platform has a
pair of inner gates, which
are interlocked with the
steel outer gates fitted to
the shaft at the two storage
levels. Staff can operate the
lift from both levels. More articles from Transdek UK Ltd: |
