When stone and flooring specialist Grants of Shoreditch undertook a project to lay over 22,000m2 of flooring at Heathrow Airport, it turned to Packline Materials Handling to provide a bespoke lifting and handling solution. The requirement was for an efficient, quick and weightless handling solution to lift the stone flooring tiles and accurately place them into position.

When stone and flooring specialist
Grants of Shoreditch undertook a
project to lay over 22,000m2 of flooring
at Heathrow Airport, it turned to
Packline Materials Handling to
provide a bespoke lifting and
handling solution. The requirement
was for an efficient, quick and
weightless handling solution to lift
the stone flooring tiles and accurately
place them into position.
Packline Materials Handling provided vacuum lifting equipment for lifting and handling stone, paving or tile floorings. The vacuum lifters are mounted on base plates in order to create a mobile solution, where the entire lifter can be moved by means of a forklift truck.
The vacuum lifting heads feature a 'fingertip' control bar so the operator uses minimum effort to move heavy loads. For safety, in the event of a power failure the load is gently lowered to the ground before the suction head will release. A range of suction heads is available to suit a variety of lifting applications.
