Transporting, storing, and handling goods – logistics requires organization, planning, and smooth processes. Good work station equipment is indispensable for great efficiency and speed. Our cable hoists enjoy great popularity as important work equipment. There are a wide range of possible applications for them in the area of logistics. For example, spring balancers, zero-gravity balancers, and positioners are used for incoming and outgoing goods. They serve as practical mounts for the charging cables necessary for such things as charging electrical forklifts and pallet trucks. High-quality Kromer cable hoists suspend the charging cables, keeping them stable at a safe height where they neither get in the way nor swing, and are pulled down only when they are needed. This allows your workers to work and move around without danger.
While setting up a charging infrastructure for electric commercial vehicles at a logistics center, a customer was looking for a practical and reliable solution for storing charging cables. In close collaboration with the customer, two key requirements were defined: the charging process needed to be fast and efficient, with a particular emphasis on making it easy for workers to plug in and unplug the cables. At the same time, the solution had to ensure that the cables were stored safely and neatly to minimize the risk of workplace accidents and maintain a high standard of occupational safety.
A total of 30 spring balancers and 15 positioners were installed at the charging stations for batteries and commercial vehicles. Thanks to the storage function of the spring balancers and positioners, the charging cables are reliably and safely held in the desired position. This makes the workplace safer and more ergonomic.
Products used in the project:
Retractor 7200 | Retractor 7211 | Positioner525
• Quick and easy location of charging cables
• Positioning of charging cables in a standby position (at reach height) improves ergonomics
• Safe storage away from walkways – no tripping hazards from cables lying on the ground
• Contact-free storage of charging cables reduces cable wear and tear
Transporting, storing, and handling goods – logistics requires organization, planning, and smooth processes. The correct framework conditions must be present, of course. Good work station equipment is indispensable for great efficiency and speed. Our cable hoists enjoy great popularity as important work equipment. There are a wide range of possible applications for them in the area of logistics. Discover helpful applications that effectively support your on-site workers and ensure a high degree of safety. For example, spring balancers, zero-gravity balancers, and positioners are used in incoming and outgoing goods in foodstuffs companies. They serve as practical mounts for the charging cables necessary for such things as charging electrical forklifts and pallet trucks. Electricity poses an especially great injury hazard if there is no safe handling concept. High-quality Kromer cable hoists suspend the charging cables, keeping them stable at a safe height where they neither get in the way nor swing, and are pulled down only when they are needed. This allows your workers to work and move around without danger. You can rely on Carl Stahl Kromer, the quality leader – we can provide you with durable, precise products of the very best workmanship.
Please note:
Balancers and retractors are not suitable for goods transport or constant connecting and disconnecting of various weights. They are neither a means of transport nor lifting equipment, but useful handling devices that are set precisely to a specific load (use in vertical only). Do not hesitate to contact us for an individual consulting to check where spring balancers can be integrated in your workplace profitable. We look forward to hearing form you.
