MEZZ LIFT IMPROVES FACTORY EFFICIENCY
Improved handling efficiency, better utilisation of space and enhanced safety have been achieved by Bott Limited following the installation of a Mezz Lift from Penny Hydraulics to lift loads from ground floor to a mezzanine in the stores at its dedicated commercial vehicle conversion workshop facility. The Mezz Lift has eliminated the need for lift truck to operate in the stores area which means that space previously used to move items can now be used for storage. Safety is improved because no handling vehicles are travelling in this busy part of the factory. Efficiency is improved because one person can now undertake goods inward operations.
“Our stores are now more efficient because more stock can be handled by fewer people and there is less wasted floorspace,” says Terry Knott, Health & Safety Manager of Bott. “The whole area is inherently safer because there is no need for lift trucks to operate in this busy area where staff are working. The Penny Hydraulics Mezz Lift is the ideal solution for this type of operation.”
