Project Background
Norte Logistics MX operates a large e-commerce distribution center in Monterrey, moving high volumes of goods between ground level and a mezzanine storage area. They needed a reliable lifting solution that could handle heavy pallets efficiently while maintaining smooth goods flow.
Challenges
- Heavy loads: Palletized goods frequently exceeded 4 tons per load
- High throughput: The lift had to keep pace with rapid order fulfillment
- Dual function: Needed for both mezzanine access and level-changing transport
- Reliability: Continuous operation demanded dependable equipment with minimal downtime
Solution
GP LIFT delivered a 5-ton hydraulic scissor lift tailored to the facility:
- Capacity: 5 tons with a reinforced platform
- Platform size: 4000×2000 mm, accommodating standard and oversized pallets
- Travel height: 4.5m with auxiliary guide rails for stability at height
- Drive: Heavy-duty hydraulic power unit with low-noise operation
- Safety: Emergency stop, safety interlocks, and overload protection
Custom Features
- Auxiliary guide rails to prevent platform shift at higher travel heights
- Low-noise hydraulic unit for a comfortable working environment
- Control panels at multiple positions for flexible operation
- Remote installation guidance for the local engineering team
Results
- Maintained high-throughput goods flow between ground and mezzanine levels
- Handles 5-ton loads reliably with stable operation at full height
- Installation completed in two days with minimal disruption
- Reduced manual handling and improved operational efficiency
“The scissor lift has been running continuously since installation and hasn’t missed a beat. It keeps our fulfillment operation moving smoothly.” — Operations Manager, Norte Logistics MX
