Capacity boost
June 1st 2010 Hovair air film technology by
Movetech UK, combined with new
flooring from Sika UK, has provided
London & Cambridge Properties
(LCP) with a highly practical and
cost-effective solution to LCP's need
to double capacity at their specialist
warehousing facility at Burntwood
Business Park, Burntwood,
Staffordshire.
Movetech
UK engineers
using its inhouse
Hovair
technology
designed and
manufactured
an air film
transporter with a total design
capacity of 100 tonnes. The design
initially focused on a wheeled
solution that used hydraulic jacks and
machinery skates, but the air film
option offered much greater flexibility
and is more user friendly.
Unlike wheels, air bearings allow
loads to be moved in any direction.
Eight 40" high pressure air bearings
are incorporated into the design of
the LCP transporter. More articles from Movetech UK: |
