Dock Equipment: Moving freight forward with air cargo lifts
Custom lifts simplify handling of a variety of container sizes and weights.
A logistics company that provides courier delivery services worldwide required a lifting solution that could safely and efficiently transfer air cargo containers of various sizes between ground level and dock elevation at its distribution centers and terminals.
“We face multiple challenges every day and to make our business run effectively,” says an operations manager at the facility. “We needed several dock lifts that would provide uninterrupted and reliable service, and stand up to extremely rigorous operating conditions.”
The new custom-built air cargo lift is designed specifically for the performance requirements of the business. It can handle extremely large, heavy loads and features a platform equipped with a roller conveyor deck to make the transfer of loads on and off the truck effortless.
The new lifts have contributed to improved performance in the transfer of a variety of containers between delivery trucks and the terminal building, and managers note minimum downtime. The company now plans to install multiple air cargo lifts at several of its terminal locations.
