Lifters supplied to tyre factory

Reducing manual handling and improving safety were the aims when Stanley Handling supplied ROBUR PV80 Microlifters to the Cooper Tire & Rubber Company's European HQ and manufacturing site in Wiltshire.

According to health and safety manager, Jeff Challoner: "These lifters are easy to use and make the job a lot safer and easier. That's what we've come to expect from Stanley." During the tyre manufacturing process, full rolls of cord and rubber weighing up to 160kg are loaded into a 'servicer' that feeds the production line.
