Chase Equipment helps you to transfer your business loads between heights

West Midlands based firm Chase Equipment is a long established manufacturing company with almost 90 years’ experience, who specialises in the design and build of bespoke goods lifts, scissor lifts and more recently disabled access lifts. With an expansive customer base which includes schools, hospitals, banks, supermarkets and libraries Chase has just recently supplied a Mezzanine Floor/Goods lift at a local site to a West Midlands factory.

At Thomas Dudley due to increasing demand for storage, the company needed better use of their mezzanine floor level. This resulted in a requirement to move goods more easily between ground and first floor: Chase Equipment provided a solution by using a mezzanine floor goods lift.

Goods lifts can easily and cost effectively be manufactured to give a bespoke solution to make better use of space in warehouses, stores and shops. It can carry small or large capacity loads of various shapes and sizes between ground and the mezzanine floor levels. The loads can be transferred by a single person, reducing the risk of slips and trips by carrying bulky, large and heavy loads to various levels. The lifts can be designed in a variety of different sizes for both internal and external use with the requirements and capacities to meet that of the client.

Chase Equipment recently worked with Thomas Dudley using 3D CAD to visualise the concept and design of the lift. Once the design was agreed, Chase manufactured the lift with full height enclosure with electro/mechanical interlock doors and fully complaint with the recently revised British standards BS EN 1570-1:2011 PART 1: Lifting tables serving up to two fixed landings. Due to customers load requirements a 2000kg capacity scissor lift with double vertical mechanism was used. The scissor arm mechanism gives a more stable and robust solutions when used for heavier loads and large size platform areas.

Mike Mohr, director at Thomas Dudley, said: “Chase Equipment`s goods lift opens up new possibilities for making better use of space in our building and allows transfer goods between different heights to mezzanine floor storage area.”
Chase under took the project, manufactured and delivered in an agreed time frame against budget using their in-house installation and service team.

Derek Sweeney MD of Chase added, “At Chase we understand how important it is to keep operations running smoothly and continuously, therefore we run national cover 24/7 and service all makes and types of scissor lifts, goods lifts and any loading bay equipment. Our large team of experienced service engineers, we will get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible, reducing costly down time.”

Chase Equipment is proud to be a leading manufacturer of competitively priced scissor/goods lifts with capacity ranging from 500kg upwards. Whatever your lifting challenge is, make your business loads easier with a quality scissor lift from Chase Equipment.

Chase Equipment modular docks significantly increased Warwick Chemicals distribution capability

The Midlands-based firm Chase Equipment Ltd, specialists in the design and manufacture of loading bay equipment from dock levellers through modular docks, scissor lifts, industrial doors, dock shelters and mobile yard ramps, ended the last year by delivering a 9000kg capacity modular loading dock scheme to Warwick Chemicals. The bespoke modular loading dock scheme is fitted with an electro-hydraulic dock leveller and marshalling area with access onto the modular dock by a static yard ramp.As part of the contract Chase Equipment equipped the modular dock scheme with a 12 meters long safe access on both sides of the loading bay by means of a set of integrated rolling step units to allow safe working practices in securing of load, which was incorporated into the vehicle wheel guides. This design took into account the requirements of the articulated trailers in current operation. The unique elements of the project reflect Chase Equipment`s ability to provide a tailored solution in which the modular dock scheme was designed and installed to suit the customer specific parameters and also that of the overall building. Warwick Chemicals commented: “Chase is a competent & reliable partner & has completed a number of projects on the Warwick site. In this case the design of the mechanism to ensure safe access for load trapping required both an intuitive & pragmatic approach. The installation itself was completed on-time to schedule. ”Derek Sweeney the Managing Director of Chase Equipment explains, “A modular dock is a great way to convert a building or outside area with no dedicated loading bays to allow it to be used for serious distribution. Tailored to your exact needs it provides a robust yet flexible/non-permanent solution for a ground-level operation. For a landlord, it increases the flexibility and possible uses of your units, increasing the opportunity to fill vacant units.”If you want to equip a different location or need to alter the size of the dock the solution couldn’t be simpler. It’s a nuts-and-bolts job to move platform modules, and/or add or remove them as needed. A modular dock is as permanent or flexible as you need it to be.

According to Simon Willis the Operations Manager at Chase “A good modular dock system offers more than just a strong and secure platform. As the platform is by definition raised, access steps, ladders and handrails are available to prevent access accidents. Similarly, fork truck raves are offered to prevent forklift falls; buffers can also be fitted to absorb truck trailer impacts. Importantly, as the heights of truck load beds are rarely accurate to a few millimetres, integrated dock levellers are available to bridge the gap. Modular docks and scissor lifts also make ideal work partners.”
