Freighter has launched an automated mezzanine deck for its range of T-Liner trailers.
The MaxiTrans subsidiary says the design aims to expedite loading times without loss of pallet space.
“Our engineers have worked hard to design an electro-hydraulic Auto Mezz Deck solution which is fast, quiet and reliable,” Freighter General Manager Mario Colosimo says.
“As a result, our new system is almost silent and works with the push of the button. It is certain to speed up loading times for operators, saving them the hassle of having to raise and lower mezzanine decks with a forklift.”
Colosimo highlights the safety features of the design, which incorporates spring locks and red and green warning lights.
“The spring loaded deck locks mean that there is no chance of the decks slipping down further than intended when raising and lowering,” he states.
“Upon releasing the controls, the deck automatically locks itself into the next available position, eliminating OH&S risks.”
