RDS logs the weight at RSC
June 1st 2011 The Royal Shakespeare Company
(RSC) has chosen RDS South West
to supply Liftlog 100 on-board
weighing systems for
counterbalance fork
trucks used in its
workshop and preassembly
building.
Central to the RSC
six week, five-play
residency at New York's
Park Avenue Armory is the
transportation of a full-scale
replica auditorium of the
Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
Designed, engineered and built by
the RSC's in-house team to comply
with both European and US building
legislation, the auditorium is a four
tier, 19m high construction made up
of individual seating units with built
in fork channels that allow them to
be easily weighed by the forklift
installed Liftlog 100.
Previously the team used a more
complex jib and load cell arrangement.
This was time consuming to
install and remove from the forklift
as it was required to
move between weighing
and lifting tasks. The
non-intrusive fit of the
Liftlog 100 has no
impact on rated lift
capacity and the trucks
are now free to operate
as normal.
Commenting on the
effectiveness of the system,
Gary Wright, logistics
manager, said: "The ease of use and
reasonable price tag of Lift 100 has
significantly speeded up the process." More articles from RDS Technology Ltd: |
