Back-friendly system
October 1st 2007

Rusmail Conveyor Systems has installed a mezzanine conveyor for Lucas World of Furniture in Aylesbury. It was considered to be less disruptive than installing a lift, has increased automation in the warehouse and drastically reduced manual handling of heavier furniture items.

Lucas Furniture opted for the Rusmail system after seeing it in action at another furniture retailer. A key feature of the system is its mobile gravity roller, Expandaveyor, which can be adjusted in height and angle to unload vehicles of different heights.

It can be stowed away after use to make room for delivery trucks to park in the warehouse overnight.

David Lucas, director, says "With the Rusmail kit we didn't need to make drastic adaptations to the building so that project could be completed quickly during our quieter period. The back-friendly conveyor is allowing us to take care of staff and comply with health and safety requirements."
