Powered platform gives eggs a lift
December 1st 2005

A mobile powered platform from Transdek UK is enabling a single operative using a powered pallet truck to load more than 22 000 eggs on to a delivery vehicle in 30 minutes at a production site run by Deans Foods.

The entire site is on one level, and the company chose the Transdek platform as a safe, fast, cost effective method of lifting the pallets up to the trailers with the PPT, that is quicker and easier to operate than a manual truck. Vehicles generally carry 26 full pallets.

The equipment has a platform 1750mm long and 2400mm wide, with a load capacity of 2250kg. Guardrails automatically enclose the operator as the platform rises, and a lead-on ramp and bridging plate provide continuous surfaces between the yard and the trailer. The electro-hydraulic system that raises and lowers the platform is powered by a 2.2kW motor that can run from 24V on-board batteries or 110V mains electricity.
