Challenges
A cold storage facility provider inaugurated their new facility consisting of 7 floors with provision for 4 goods lifts
In 2019, they had approached Nandan GSE to provide a suitable solution for two Goods Lifts
However for cost considerations they chose to install conventional Wire Rope Lifts that were available at half the price of a Nandan Hydraulic Goods Lift
Within 3 months of installation, these lifts created problems for the operators with frequent breakdowns including breakage of wire ropes which were of a leading OEM
During one such breakdown the cabin came crashing down squashing a consignment of grapes. Thankfully there was no loss or injury to human life
They tried to fix these lifts through the vendor and other service providers, but no one was able to do it
Solutions
They wanted to install one more lift for which they approached none other than Nandan GSE
After doing a site survey, we realized that their shaft space was limited
We used our design skills to carve out the best possible usable space for easy movement of pallets up to 2.4 T capacity and 2.5m high.
Nandan’s single cylinder cantilever hydraulic goods lift is now helping them to load an entire container within 60 minutes
The lift travels up to a height if 22m & performs duty cycles of 12-15 times per hour and is operated for up to 15 hours per day
This lift has all the safety features including overload protection, safety interlocks with doors for lift movement, high capacity motor and power-pack for heavy duty continuous use, pilot check valves and hand pump for emergency operations.
Result
Uninterrupted working of the lift resulted in no loss in time & profitability.
Safety of the operator & laborers is ensured all the time due to reliability & safety of the lift.
The high loading capacity of the lift ensured maximum loading capacity for a pallet which ensured less usage cycle of the lift.
