Hörmann Transdek launch range of Scissor Lifts
A new range of scissor lifts have been launched by Hörmann Transdek which are ideal for loading bay areas with restricted space. The new range provides a fast, efficient, and safe way to load and unload trailers with bed heights up to 1590 mm. Suitable for serving traditional docks or level access bays, Hörmann Transdek scissor lifts can also be used for moving goods between split levels in factories and warehousing.
Providing a solution for both internal and external locations, the scissor lifts are surface mounted, with no need for pits or civils meaning that installation can be achieved in under one day. The range is available in two sizes: 6 or 9-cage variants offering lifting capacities of up to 3000 Kg.
The lifts are fitted with a gas sprung heavy duty plate which ensures safe and precise bridging between the platform and the trailer, whilst a hydraulic, fixed lead-on ramp with a low gradient provides easy access at ground level. The lifts can also be operated via simple hand-held controls, from either ground level or within the platform.
CE marked and built in conformity with EN1570 and the Machinery Directive, Hörmann Transdek scissor lifts are built for a lifetime of robust and safe operation. Designed with operator safety as a priority, a range of safety features have been incorporated, including a skirt to prevent access under the platform when it is in a raised position, electronic safety edges fitted around the lift table, a sliding personnel gate and fall protection gates with robust locking mechanisms.
James MacDonald, Business Development Manager for Hörmann Transdek comments, “Our range of scissor lifts provide rugged, safe, and reliable operation whether lifting goods between split levels or loading/unloading vehicles. Their rapid installation together with their optimal flexibility offer logistics and warehousing operators a truly cost-effective solution for their material handling needs.
Whilst the majority of the scissor lifts that we supply into the market are surface-mounted and can be installed without the need for pits and civils, they can also be installed into a pit. We can provide the skills and project management expertise to facilitate any site-specific needs and deliver tailored solutions as required.”
To demonstrate the fast and effective operation of the Hörmann Transdek scissor lift the company has produced a short video which is available to view at Hormann Transdek Scissor Lift (youtube.com)
