Material handling and logistics operations can be significantly facilitated and accelerated by the use of forklifts and pallet trucks in many industrial sectors. In this post, we will show you in which installations these structures should be installed and the advantages of using them.
Shaftless freight elevators or freight lifts are very easy to customise to the specific needs of the workspace and workflow, and can be manufactured and installed in a short time after proper assessment. A properly designed freight elevator can greatly increase efficiency and safety. Let's look at where these tools can be used most effectively and what benefits they offer.
Areas of application
Available with multiple drive options, lifting heights up to 6 metres and load capacities up to 10 tonnes, the shaftless freight elevators are successfully used in both industrial and commercial installations:
- Manufacturing plants: freight elevators can be used to speed up the transport of production materials between workstations and storage areas. Downtime can be reduced and production processes optimised.
- Warehouses and distribution centres: it becomes possible to carry heavy objects, pallets, to transport boxes quickly and safely between floors, improving the productivity of these units.
- Retail shops and shopping centres: forklifts between the warehouse and the sales floor help to move goods quickly and in bulk by minimising the need for manpower.
Advantages of freight lifts
Installing a freight lift can bring many benefits to businesses. It increases the speed, efficiency and productivity of material handling workflows, while reducing downtime in production units. As the movement of goods between floors is simplified, it is possible to optimise the logistical processes within the building and between workstations.
Thanks to the safety features installed in the lifts, handling and transporting heavy goods will be less accident-prone.
Not only do workers have to spend less time on transport, but they can move heavy and bulky objects between floors of buildings more easily, quickly and with less physical effort, allowing them to further reduce the likelihood of dangerous situations occurring.
Enclosed load lifts from Eco Cranes
Eco Cranes is already a big has experience in the design of goods lifts, goods hoists and goods lifts, in the manufacture and installation of and commissioning, with many successful projects behind us.
We also provide full support for existing structures, as our team also carries out periodic safety inspections and maintenance work.
