Southwell Lifts & Hoists takes StoreLocal Penrith customers to new heights

Southwell Lifts & Hoists was commissioned to work on the development of the three-level StoreLocal self storage facility at Penrith.

THE CHALLENGE

The StoreLocal Penrith facility required a Freestanding Goods Hoist to travel 8.2m and service 3 levels. It was to be craned through the roof into a shaft and have a separated fire compartment at the lowest level. Integration with the Sentinel Security System was also key. The interior finish needed to match the new facility with its state of the art technology and keyless entry system accessible via a mobile phone app.

THE PROCESS

Southwell Lifts & Hoists worked closely with Western Sydney Constructions and StoreLocal to create a safe, secure, reliable hoist to service the multi-level self storage facility.

Designed by Southwell’s in-house engineers, the hoist was fabricated, using only Australian-made components, and tested in Southwell’s workshops. The installation was done in one day. Southwell coordinated a 130 tonne crane to meet their truck on site and set up for the 25m high crane lift. The rest of the building was constructed around the Southwell hoist. “Designed by Southwell’s in-house engineers, the hoist was fabricated, using only Australian-made components, and tested in Southwell’s workshops.

IMPACT
