Safer lifting platforms

"By listening to what our clients’ tell us and by working in close collaboration with them to develop solutions that improves their business," the company says.

It was through this practice that it came to develop a new safety feature on its latest Double Dok Lifting Platform for a Dotcom customer.

Easilft Loading Systems' Double Dok Lifting Platforms enable the loading and unloading of home delivery vans as well as single-deck and double deck trailers from a single loading bay.

One of the new safety features is a self-tensioning wire skirt positioned under the lifting platform which creates a wall of steel preventing operators or goods from falling into the gap underneath the lift. This feature is said to ensure the uppermost in safety compliance, efficiency and quality.

Rob Fay, Easilift Loading Systems managing director, said: “The new safety feature of our Double Dok lifts puts paid to any potential risk to operators and warehouse staff. The new self-tensioning wire skirt significantly reduces the threat of a potential accident and also improves operational efficiency of the loading bay by preventing goods from getting trapped under the lift.”
