ECS GOODS LIFTS PASS 150 LANDMARK
Installation of two Gebhardt goods lifts at IKEA’s distribution centre in Belfast in July takes the total number installed by European Conveyor Systems past the 150 mark, including multiple installations for Next, Mothercare and other leading retailers.
ECS has already completed installations at IKEA DCs in Coventry and Nottingham and is due to install two more at the company’s Dublin premises in September. Four lifts installed at Mothercare’s national distribution centre in Northamptonshire were part of a £550,000 goods handling system. Other recent customers include Amazon, Davies Turner Logistics and Snow and Rock.
Gebhardt lifts are fully free-standing and self-contained, requiring no civil engineering work or welding, and are available in goods-only and personnel versions with load capacities from one tonne to two tonnes in a wide range of sizes. Maximum operating height is 12 metres, and provision can be made for up to six stopping places and 12 access points. Accessories such as interior lights and safety light curtains in the car entrance can be included.
Several more lift orders are in the pipeline for installation this year, as well as major conveyor installations for handling pallets, cases and tote boxes.
