Birch Engineering (Cuffley) has supplied two scissor lift tables to furnishings retailer Healthbeds to help in the unloading and loading of vehicles at its Leicester store.

The tables create a level loading area and are in use constantly during the working day. They have helped improve safety for personnel handling heavy cargo.

For many years, the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham has been using hydraulic loading dock tables to serve kitchen to restaurant requirements in Halls 1, 2, 3 and 4.
