Lightening the load
June 1st 2005 At Office Depot’s new site in Aston Under Lyne, a telescopic boom conveyor from Caljan Rite-Hite is used for unloading vehicles carrying office chairs.
The Man Rider unit has a platform that is used by one or two operators. Easyto- operate due to its ergonomic design, the machine has cut unloading time by up to 50%.
