Improving the efficiency of a PPE equipment manufacturer using a hydraulic Goods Lift
Challenges
- A global quality manufacturer of neck-up Personal Protective Equipment’s (PPE) approached Nandan for their goods lifting woes
- They have three operational plants around Navi Mumbai and recently launched a fourth one as well to cater to the surge in demand during the pandemic
- They had installed a Hydraulic Goods Lifts 4-5 years ago but after the initial 2 years of operations these lifts started breaking down frequently
- The interlocks of the doors stopped functioning & the structure itself became shaky
- The cabin no longer moved smoothly on both side guides & the vendor who was initially prompt stopped taking their calls.
Solution
- Nandan got an SOS call to inspect the lifts and fix them
- Our service team, in the middle of the lockdown with a special approval to travel visited the customer site
- Despite the very poor condition of the 4-5 year old lifts, we took the challenge to repair and refurbish the lifts by reverse engineering some components and quickly sourcing/manufacturing them
- Delighted by Nandan’s service and technical competence, they asked us to take up the design, manufacturing, installation and AMC of 2 new Goods Lifts
- Within 4 months, Nandan delivered and installed two lifts – 5 Ton, 19.2 M – twin mast and 2 Ton, 9 M – single mast
- These lifts are PLC controlled with all premium functionalities and safety features.
Results
- Nandan delivered the lifts at a time when they were in dire need of support & hence won the complete confidence of the client.
- The lift provided by us was PLC controlled with all premium features.
- Safety was increased exponentially due to the robust nature of the lifts & our timely periodic maintenance schedule.
