CALL US ON 01302 752 276 HEALTH & SAFETY FINANCE NEWS SEARCH DFS 2-tonne dock lifts with extended 3-metre platforms to handle bulky products to/from raised dock areas OVERVIEW Goal/s: Improve handling safety and efficiency at level-access warehouses Product/s: 3 x 2-tonne dock lifts Lift Range: Ground to 1200mm docking area SWL: 2000kg Platform Size: 3000mm-wide x 3000mm-long Services: Bespoke design, integrated with Transdek modular docks Install Time: 3 hours per unit Result/s: Increased efficiency, reduced manual handling THE CLIENT DFS Group is the UK’s leading sofa retail specialist, with over 124 showrooms in the UK, Republic of Ireland, The Netherlands and Spain. The company, which has manufactured and sold upholstered furniture in the UK since 1969, employs over 5,500 staff. DFS has 20 regional Customer Distribution Centres UK-wide. THE PROJECT DFS aimed to reduce manual handling and increase safety in the loading of their sofa suites on and off vehicles at level-access regional DC’s. Transdek designed modular, raised docking areas for each site, with a bespoke, 3-metre by 3-metre dock lift to move products between the 1200mm dock and ground level. All equipment was surface-mounted to minimise install times. THE RESULTS Transdek’s 2-tonne dock lifts each carry three DFS furniture racks at a time, enabling fast and efficient movement of products to and from the new raised docking areas. At the same time, manual handling has been significantly reduced. The dock lifts were fitted straight on to DFS’ warehouse floors, avoiding onsite disruption (and future dilap costs, by avoiding pits/civils). “Loads can now be picked and marshalled by one person with ease using the integrated, person-riding dock lift. Transdek’s engineering input and attention to detail has been exceptional, and the finished products operate exactly as promised.” Senior Supply Chain Development Manager at DFS Products Double Deck Lifts V2G Yard Lifts 4-Pallet V2G Yard Lifts Scissor Lifts Dock Lifts Dock Levellers Warehouse Extensions About Project Management After Sales Case Studies Patents News Contact Us info@transdek.com 01302 752 276 COPYRIGHT TRANSDEK UK LTD | WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT BY CLICKY PRIVACY & COOKIES POLICY |SITEMAP FACEBOOK TWITTER YOUTUBE
