Providing a goods lift solution to a chemical industry client for their drum handling needs
Challenges
- A chemical industry company contacted us for their drum handling problem
- They were carrying heavy drums from the ground level of their factory to the 2nd floor mezzanine level of the factory
- The drums were being lifted manually by laborer’s & this was causing injuries, fatigue & in turn delays in operation
Solution
- Initially, they were asking for a electric hoist lift to solve their issues
- Once our sales specialist visited their site & understood all their problems, he suggested a hydraulic goods lift instead
- A hydraulic goods lift was suggested with a self supporting structure & outer cladding due to area constraints
- A maximum lifting height of 7.5m with a max load of 2 Tons was suggested & accepted by the client for all their heavy duty lifting needs
- An additional flame proof system was provided for reducing the risk due to fire hazards in a chemical factory
Results
- Increase in safety due to reduction in use of labor
- Reduction in issues due to fire hazard
- Multiple operations possible in a day due to the use of a hydraulic goods lift
- The outer cladding provided gives an additional level of safety during the lifting of heavy chemical drums
