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.
