The Problem

Traditional methods of manually handling beer deliveries and collections in and out of pub cellars is back breaking, time consuming and hazardous. In fact the industry has one of the worst records of all for lifting injuries and absenteeism throughout related ill health. Additionally the practise of dropping containers into cellars causes damage to both the building and the containers.

The Answer

Fortunately Pickering's CellarLift keg and beverage hoist system overcomes all these problems. It provides a safe, efficient and cost effective solution to the problem of deliveries and collections.

Safety at Work

Employers now have a legal obligation to provide manual handling aids so that employees are not exposed to undue risks. Failure to satisfy these regulations creates a liability for compensation claims. CellarLift provides a cost effective solution to increase safety in the workplace.

A more efficient approach

The CellarLift lowers full containers quickly and safely to the cellar floor. Empties are just as quickly raised to the surface and the old problem of ullage keg removal, involving ropes and much physical effort, is a thing of the past.

Installation and maintenance service

CellarLift can be tailored to suit just about any cellar. They are suitable for both vertical and inclined drops, and need only a 240 volt power supply. We provide a full installation service and this normally can be carried out within a few days. Pickerings also offers ongoing preventative maintenence service.

Safe operation

The CellarLift is electro-hydraulically powered with an electrically driven hydraulic pump which is positioned remotely from the hoist. A joystick control operates the lift and if this is released when a load is being lowered it will immediately stop - with complete safety.

Flexible

The unit comes complete with a detachable ramp for use in removing ullage kegs for return, as well as a case tray to accomodate up to 8 cases of bottled beverages. CellarLift can also accomodate CO2 cylinders.
