Vending machine handling up and down the stairs
Vending machines are naturally a convenient facility for everyone’s life, but because of their large size and weight, handling and placement has always been a challenge.
Because the vending machine is heavy, human handling is impossible. It needs professional handling equipment. And the vending machine itself is not resistant to extrusion and scraping, or the outer wall is easily damaged, so there is a need of carrying the equipment more smoothly, especially when climbing.
Normal vending machine weight is generally between 200KG to 400KG, which is not possible for general style stair climbers. It needs special heavy-duty type of stair climber, such as DRAGON’s heavy-duty electric stair climbing dolly. Its load capacity can reach 400kg, nearly half a ton, which is enough to carry vending machines.
Loaded electric stair climbers are mostly crawler style. And because of the track’s strong grip on the ground and the long track, the climber can steadily climb on the stair steps and pause on the steps for a short time.
Moreover, the load climbers are powered by electricity, and the design of the pull-out battery allows the movers to change the battery at any time in the middle of the move.
As the floor climber can adjust the angle between the load plate and the track by itself according to the angle of the tilt of the body, the goods can always remain horizontal or tilted inward during the climbing process, and not to slip off the load plate.
As the vending machine is relatively regular in shape and nearly 2 meters in height, the center of gravity is high, the handling process is stable and not bumpy. And it is important to ensure that the bottom surface of the equipment is level relative to the ground, and the load crawler can meet both conditions.
Electric stair climbing dollys are perfect for vending machine handling. Considering the uncertainty of vending machine placement locations, if you need to acquire equipment to carry and dispatch vending machines or merchandise, a crawler stair climber is a pretty good choice.
