From warehouse to table: the importance of specialised lifts in hospitality logistics

From the moment fresh ingredients arrive in the warehouse until they are exquisitely presented on the diner's plate, every step in the supply chain must be precise and agile. That's why devices like the mini-load lifts

The mini-load lift has become the cornerstone of warehouse management efficiency in the hospitality industry. These devices, designed specifically for handling small to medium loads in confined spaces, offer a number of benefits that revolutionise the way hospitality businesses manage their inventory and deliver fresh produce to their kitchens.

Benefits of a mini-load lift

One of the main benefits of a mini-load lift is its ability to maximise space in warehouses and kitchens, where every centimetre counts. These devices are designed to operate in tight spaces, allowing efficient vertical storage and freeing up space for other operations.

In addition, their ability to transport loads safely and quickly increases overall warehouse productivity, reducing waiting times and optimising workflows.

Improving efficiency

A mini-load lift in the kitchen of a catering business improves efficiency in a number of ways. Primarily, it reduces the time spent by kitchen staff transporting dishes from the kitchen to the serving area and back, allowing them to concentrate on other tasks that can improve their work and be more efficient.

On the other hand, by eliminating the need for staff to constantly move between the kitchen and the service area, potential collisions and congestion in the workspace are minimised, which in turn increases safety and process flow.

The mini-load elevator also optimises space, as dishes are neatly stored in the elevator instead of taking up space on work tables or on serving trolleys. Ultimately, by streamlining the flow of dishes, the risk of food getting cold is reduced, ensuring a more satisfying dining experience for customers.

As an added benefit, the mini-load lift can be installed in previously unused space to maximise the efficiency of the facility.

Every business is unique; that's why we have a variety of mini-load elevator models, meticulously designed to meet the specific demands of each customer.

Customisation of a mini-load elevator

These devices have a great capacity for customisation to adapt to the requirements of each business and its facilities. For example, more technical aspects such as the type of drive, hydraulic or electric, or the place of installation of the lift can vary.

The finish and number of stops can also be customised. The mini-loads can be finished in stainless steel or painted in different colours, although the standard is light grey. As for the number of stops per route, it can carry out up to a maximum of 12, being able to access the lift from 3 different accesses on the same level.

How is a mini-load elevator installed?

A mini-load hoist can be installed in different ways depending on the space available and the use to which it is to be put. The company that manufactures the device may have the human capacity to install it or may delegate a team of professionals in charge of this process.

However, the personnel who install it must know in advance how many metres the lift will travel, the stops, the drive and the dimensions of the shaft through which the device will operate. Also the number of accesses to each level and how they will be fed.
