Safetech’s AS2-900 Hydraulic Lift Table for meat processing plant
- Business: Meat processing plant
- Company profile: Producer of small goods
- Application: Manually removing large pieces of meat from pallet size plastic bins
The problem:
The depth and width of the bin means the operator has to stretch to reach all product in the lower half and middle of the bin
Alternatives:
- Palift - This would have been an ideal solution if the area had been accessible to forklift trucks.
- An automated conveyor system was also considered but was too expensive.
Product chosen:
Safetech AS2-900 Hydraulic Lift Table from Safetech featuring
- Tilting platform with flip-up lip to retain bin (prox prohibits tilting unless lip is raised)
