Custom built to handle power
January 1st 2011 Mardix supplies power management
and intelligent switchgear systems, and
has now acquired a custom-built
ROBUR truck from
Stanley Handling.
Its installation team
frequently handles large
cabinets, weighing up to
two tonnes, in areas with
restricted height. This has
required considerable manual
handling and the company's own
health and safety specialists identified
the need for an alternative.
The result was the ROBUR
SBP/3030, a pedestrian-operated,
battery-powered straddle truck with a
clamping and tilting system.
A special frame is attached to
mounting points in the cabinet
enabling the ROBUR
to engage with, tilt and
lower the equipment
to the horizontal. Once
locked in place, it can
safely be moved to the
desired location.
With 3000mm lift and 3000kg
weight capabilities and a host of
safety features, the new truck, a
finalist in the 2011 FLTA Awards, has
simplified the handling task. More articles from Stanley Handling Limited: |
