Elf and safety problemsDecember 1st 2007
Packline were one of the only companies to take an enquiry from Lapland seriously, as direct from Santa's Grotto came a request to assist with a lifting and handling problem. After a recent visit from Elf & Safety, Santa had to find a suitable solution for lifting sacks of toys onto the back of his sleigh. The design brief stipulated that the main construction was painted seasonal red.
Packline's development team based the design on the company's standard range of Compac stainless steel mobile lifters. Minor alterations included replacing the lifters castors with ski blades and insulating the main control cabinet to protect against the weather conditions.
The sack lifting attachment was an articulating mechanical hand arrangement suitable for securely gripping the neck of the sack prior to lifting and positioning safely onto the back of the sleigh.
