Integral lifting aid September 1st 2009 After seeing the Caljan BeltTrack
fitted with Vaculex ParceLift in
operation at a test installation, Draper
Tools has installed the system to
empty containers at its distribution
centre in Chandlers Ford.
Previously, a team of four to six
people was needed to empty
containers. This has now been
reduced to three or four-man teams
thanks to the telescopic boom
conveyor and integral lifting aid.
The unit is fitted onto rail tracks
that lie flush in the floor, so that it can
be moved between doors. Although
ergonomics rather than speed have
been the prime consideration, Draper
Tools is also seeing a financial benefit
as fewer people are needed to unload. More articles from Caljan Rite-Hite Limited: |
