Scissor Lift helps Supermarket Meat Packing Plant

March 24, 2017

Case Study

Industry:  Retail Supermarket meat packing plant
Product:  Safetech service lift table for bucket wheel reclaim

Problem

Cutting and packing meat for super markets. Hard manual work and a need to protect workers and increase productivity. Lifting pallets of goods from ground floor to 1st floor. There was no elevator and loads of up to 2 tonne needed to be moved between floors. An efficient, cost effective solution was required.

No alternatives exist on site.

Solution

Safetech ASD2-3500 double scissor hydraulic lift table with 3,500mm vertical travel and 3,250 x 1,700mm platform.  Platform has 1,800mm high mesh fences on 3 sides and guard locked boom gates on loading side.  Also included was a durable galvanised plate fixed to surface and loading edge of platform.

Two pallets are loaded onto platform by forklift at ground level, the platform is raised to first floor via a new opening in upper floor. An enclosed shaft was installed as well as guard locked gates at each level. At upper level the pallets are removed by hand pallet truck.

Installation was fairly straight forward. All controls, guard locked gates and limits. Hand pallet truck access on first floor meant no forklift required.

Benefits of this Lifting Solution:?? High capacity (2,000kg load capacity)
