Unload double stacked containers safely
June 1st 2007 Transdek's mobile lifting
platform can be used to load
and unload double-stacked
containers, allowing
customers to greatly increase
external storage capacity at
little cost.
Comprising a strong
tubular steel frame with large
wheels on each corner that
can be lowered to the ground
when it needs to be moved,
either by staff or a fork lift
truck. Once located against a
pair of containers, the wheels
are retracted and straps are
attached to hold it firmly in
position.
The platform, which
measures 2.4m wide x 2m
deep, has a load capacity of
two tonnes and a maximum
lift height of three metres.
On-board controls allow it to
be raised and lowered by
staff while they stand on it,
while frames at the side and
a portcullis at the rear ensure
safety. A full-width
hydraulically powered bridge
plate with extendable safety
gates gives safe access to the
upper container. More articles from Transdek UK Ltd: |
