Case Studies
A heavyweight, complex pallet lift challenge
A customer contacted us requiring a bespoke double pallet lift system. It needed to have bi-directional operation to manoeuvre a staggering 480 pallets per hour.
It had to be fully controllable via an HMI screen and, as is often the case, the customer wanted as much to be automated as possible. This included an interface with collection robots (a type of Automated Guided Vehicle or AGV). The only manual intervention in the system was loading via pump trucks.
Plucky pallet lift needed
To add to the challenge the weight the system had to handle was extremely variable: from 10kg to 2 Tonnes!
Safety was, of course, paramount (our SafeContractor status is testament to the priority we give to health & safety). The pallet lift system needed light guards and other crucial mechanical guarding in its design.
A conveyor system that quickly paid for itself
PJP designed, manufactured, supplied and installed the whole system including pallet lifts, conveyors, a bespoke controls package & AGV interface. Now, the system achieves throughput over 5 times more than the previous (manual) method. ROI was achieved in less than 12 months. A great result.
Bespoke solutions tailored to customer requirements
Often our customers need bespoke solutions for their requirements – it’s very rare to find two factories or warehouses that are the same. Certainly we have never had to make a pallet system quite like this one before.
Contact us and tell us what you need to achieve in your warehousing or manufacturing process and we’d be delighted to see if we can help you achieve your goals.
