Double safe
The latest innovation from Transdek UK is a mobile lifting platform that can be used to
load and unload double-stacked containers, allowing customers such as multiple
retailers to greatly increase their external storage capacity at little cost.
The equipment consists of 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 3m. 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 safe working conditions. A full-width 1m-long hydraulically powered bridge
plate with extendable safety gates provides safe access to the upper container.
The equipment can also be used to load and unload double-deck trailers of all types,
again increasing the efficiency of logistics operations.
