Personnel cage enhances picking safety December 1st 2004 Following the purchase of three LPG Combilift multi-directional forklifts, extruded product producer, Plus Plan, is benefiting from increased operational efficiency and enhanced health and safety.
Previously, the company had used 4-way electric trucks, but these needed super flat floors. Also, time and labour was wasted on battery charging.
The 4t capacity Combilifts can be used in any part of the premises, regardless of weather, and have been supplied with two specially designed detachable personnel cages to enhance health and safety for order picking personnel.
Fitted with its own forks to hold a stillage, the secure cage spans the width of the warehouse aisles and has protective door catches and overhead bars. This enables operators to safely pick consignments more quickly, without scraping or marking the extrusions. Connecting pipes to the trucks electric and hydraulic systems enable lifting and lowering functions to be activated from within the cage. More articles from Combilift Limited: |
