Double deck dock lift
June 1st 2009 Transdek UK recently
launched the latest in its
range of double deck
loading systems a 20
tonne capacity dock lift.
A horizontal ram
mounting and rope lifting
mechanism allows the lift
platform to lower to the
ground without the unit
being sunk into a pit. It can
be used for loading of lowfloor
(200mm) Continental
stub axle double deckers.
"Increased double decking of
goods from mainland
Europe into the UK, offers
even bigger pro rata cost
and environmental saving
potential than domestic
double decking," says Leon
Butler, operations director.
High frequency, lowpower
lights cut electricity
consumption for the lift
lights by 81 per cent. "Over
a hundred units, we
estimate annual savings of
36,100," says Butler. An
energy-efficient lower
function used in conjunction
with
Transdek's
dual-speed
lift capability,
saves up to
42 per cent
on power
usage, as the
main motor
on Transdek's
lift automatically switches
off during lowering. More articles from Transdek UK Ltd: |
