Features/Benefits Provided: Business: Distribution & Warehousing Product type: Free Standing Tarca® Patented Track System Lifting Device: Chain Hoist w/Radio Controls

Industry: Distributor of Industrial Pipe Valves and Fittings

Application: The loading and unloading of pipe product in the warehouse is a slow and cumbersome process. It requires multiple trips with a fork truck as well as two or more employees to safely handle the loads. This process can turn approximately 3 trucks per day.

Gorbel® Solution: A 3 Ton Capacity Free Standing Tarca® System was installed to transport the product between the loading dock and storage bays.

• Multiple trips with fork trucks between the loading dock and storage bays cause congestion and unsafe conditions.
• Two or more employees are required to handle the loads safely, taking away from other production areas.

• No costly footings were required - the support columns were spaced to match the building's current structural supports.
• The use of overhead transportation allowed the distributor to convert aisle space reserved for fork truck traffic to profitable storage space.
• Radio controls for the crane and hoist allowed employees to handle the pipe bundles while maintaining a safe distance from the load.
