Fast loading pod for Tesco
June 1st 2006

When Tesco needed a method of loading and unloading its fleet of new high capacity double deck trailers, used to transfer goods between distribution depots, the solution came from Easilift Loading Systems.

Working with a major UK lift supplier, they developed a modular loading system, incorporating a scissor lift housed in a pod designed to integrate with Tesco fixed floor double deck trailers.

The free-standing pods are installed on the outside of the existing loading bays, flush to the external wall of the distribution depot, minimising disruption and avoiding the loss of internal floor area. The fabricated side and roof frames are clad with insulated wall panels to create a sealed working environment.

Easilift electricallyoperated sectional overhead Powerdoors are fitted to the front and rear of each pod.

The loading bay equipment specialist also supplied double deck rubber bumpers, an inflatable dock shelter, traffic lights, two sets of dock lights and fluorescent pod lights with each installation.

Easilift industrial doors are made to measure and can be adapted to suit almost every available space, incorporating optional vision panels or employee pass doors.
