SMARTLIFT DRIVES SAFELY ON THE ICE

After the incident Odense Sports Arena chooses a Smartlift SL 280 Indoor for the window installation on the ice hockey rinks. Safety is essential for Odense Sports Arena, when the employees transport and install the Lexan windows on the smooth ice surface. But the Smartlift’s special tires ensures that the vacuum lifter runs safely and steadily on the ice, and the employees can without problems transport the heavy windows. 

The ice on the rinks is between -5°C and -8°C. The minus degrees don’t affect the Smartlift, which can drive in all kinds of conditions – both in minus and plus degrees. The suction pads are also designed for minus degrees, and the suction pads can retain their suction capacity down to -30°C.

SMALL FRAME AND SIDE SHIFT

Odense Sports Arena has also chosen the Smartlift SL 280 Indoor because of its compacts size and slim frame, which makes it easy to maneuver inside and outside of the ice hockey rinks:

“On the ice hockey rinks there are plenty of space. But outside of the rinks the space is limited with many narrow passageways and corners, so it’s important to us to have a machine that we can maneuver in everywhere. We can easily get around and store the SL 280 Indoor”, tells Morten Nielsen, Technical Service Manager.

The Smartlift’s side shift is also a very valuable feature for Odense Sports Arena, when they are maneuvering the windows in limited spaces, but also when they are installing the 220 lbs heavy Lexan windows. The windows are installed in 0.2 in width rails, and the side shift ensures that the windows are installed with extreme precision.

With the Smartlift SL 280 Indoor it’s possible for Odense Sports Arena to install the Lexan windows in only 10 minutes by two employees.

SMARTLIFT ENSURES ERGONOMICS AND USABILITY

The Smartlift does all the heavy lifting during the window installation, so the employees at Odense Sports Arena don’t need to manage manual the 220 lbs heavy Lexan windows:

“The ergonomics of a Smartlift is fantastic! The Smartlift saves me a lot heavy and difficult lifts, and I can feel that in my back. I want to take of myself, so I can keep working years to come”, explains Morten Nielsen, Technical Service Manager.  

Morten Nielsen is responsible for the Smartlift training of his colleagues, and he feels very confident in his role, because of the glass lifters’ high usability:

“I quickly felt safe and secure in using the Smartlift after training from Smartlift. It’s very easy and intuitive to operate. So I’m confident in training my colleagues”, he tells.

The usability of the Smartlift is crucial for Odense Sport Arena, because it is going to be used by 7 different teams consisting of 2 employees. So it’s important that all of the employees can operate the glass lifter easily.

GREAT FLEXIBILITY WITH SMARTLIFT

In addition to the Smartlift Odense Sports Arena has also purchased extra accessories – a lifting hook and a pallet fork. The flexibility of a Smartlift makes it possible to optimize several workflows at Odense Sports Arena, where they maintain many different sport facilities:

“We are really pleased with purchasing the accessories for the Smartlift. We have the opportunity to develop and optimize workflows at Odense Sports Arena in the future”, concludes Kaj Pedersen, Technical Service Manager
