In Milan, a city where history and modernity intertwine, optimizing logistics in traditional multi-story warehouses has always been a common challenge for local businesses. Recently, a large beverage distribution center in the city center successfully upgraded its cross-floor transportation process by introducing a CATHAY single-rail hydraulic freight elevator, providing a valuable and efficient solution for the local logistics industry.
Scenario and Challenges: This distribution center handles the storage and transshipment of large quantities of alcoholic beverages, mineral water, and soft drinks daily, with heavy loads and high turnover rates. Previously, relying on manual handling and traditional equipment for cross-floor transportation was not only inefficient and labor-intensive but also carried the risk of goods being damaged. Achieving stable, fast, and low-cost vertical logistics within limited space became a key issue for the company to improve operational efficiency.
Solution: After comparing and testing various options, the center ultimately selected the CATHAY basic single-rail hydraulic freight elevator. Its compact structural design and modular support are particularly suitable for the limited space of multi-story warehouses. The freight elevator features a durable hydraulic system and intelligent electronically controlled transmission, allowing for customization of load capacity and platform dimensions to perfectly match the transport specifications of beverage boxes and palletized goods.
Operational Performance: Since its deployment, the equipment has demonstrated excellent stability and load-bearing capacity. Even under full load, the lifting process remains smooth and stable, significantly reducing the risk of cargo damage. The intuitive control interface and low-maintenance design allow employees to quickly learn how to operate it, significantly reducing daily maintenance costs. Furthermore, its low energy consumption aligns with the company's sustainable development operational philosophy.
Industry Value: "This freight elevator is not just a transportation tool, but a crucial link in our logistics chain," said the company's operations manager. By automating and standardizing cross-floor transportation, the freight elevator effectively connects warehousing, sorting, and shipping processes, improving overall logistics efficiency by approximately 30% and significantly alleviating the workload of personnel.
Conclusion: In urban environments like Milan, where land is scarce and logistics demand is high, the CATHAY freight elevator, with its practicality, reliability, and economy, provides traditional industries with a feasible vertical transportation solution. This project also demonstrates that, with appropriate technological empowerment, local businesses can achieve substantial upgrades to their operating models without altering their existing spatial structures.
