Swedish company Dendro Lift has been developing and producing reliable and robust lifting jacks for vehicles for more than fifty years. This proven technology and quality, which guarantees a long service life for all devices, is also used in the unique Dendro DSS2.

Dendro says its DSS2 high and electric pallet truck revolutionises daily work in workshops by making work much easier, combined with a maximum increase in occupational safety. Uncomfortable posture is a thing of the past – with the DSS2 you can work safely, ergonomically and efficiently.

The Dendro DSS2 Lift has been specifically designed to safely and easily lift a powered pallet truck for easier access to the engine, batteries, brakes and suspension. Due to its practical and flexible design, the Dendro DSS2 is easy to use and can be used for most pallet trucks up to a maximum weight of 2,500kg.

Another plus point is that installation at a specific work location in the workshop is not necessary; the DSS2 is used where it is needed. Safe, fast and efficient. Elaborate and additional work steps, especially in the area of securing, are eliminated with the Dendro DSS2, enabling maximum time savings.

Dendro says its DSS2 is unique on the market and a real game-changer for every workshop. The possible uses are diverse: from (simple) forklift repairs, in logistics companies, in warehouses or in industry. Custom-made lifting devices, specially developed lifts for counterbalanced trucks or custom-made jackstands for 3 to 60 tonnes can also be implemented.

Thanks to the robust and proven construction as well as the built-in automatic lubrication, the lift is extremely low-maintenance. The long-term supply of spare parts from Dendro also ensures trouble-free operation.

As part of the ongoing partnership between Briggs Equipment and Peel Ports Group (PPG), a new JCB machine equipped with innovative safety technology and telemetry has recently been delivered to the Port of Liverpool. The new truck is having an immediate impact with positive feedback from operators and management teams alike.

The machine has been fitted with a unique telemetry system, developed in conjunction with FTC, including an artificial intelligence-powered reversing camera that intuitively picks up whether a person is in the vicinity and alerts the driver in real-time.

Peel is also trialling a real-time, secure cloud portal that provides operational and safety data that can be viewed and interpreted much quicker and with greater accuracy. To highlight the effectiveness of the partnership between the two companies, and the joint focus on safety, Peel were benchmarked as the number one port in the UK for safety, as judged by Port Skills and Safety. They also recorded the lowest rate of significant injuries measured by lost time incidents (LTIs) in 2020/21.

Tony Worrall, Briggs Equipment’s National Account Manager, said: “The new JCB truck will help deliver real benefits to Peel’s efficiency, productivity and of course on-site safety. This investment in cutting edge technology and telemetry underlines Peel’s business wide safety focus and a clear ambition to remain at the forefront of the industry. It also demonstrates the strength of our Contract Management support.

“We’ve worked closely with our partners at FTC to deliver a telemetry solution that meets the demands of a modern work environment. The system is fully integrated with cloud-based technology and artificial intelligence to help provide real time data and instant safety alerts.

“We have an extremely strong partnership with Peel Ports and they remain committed to implementing a safety first culture across their business with our expert assistance and guidance.”

Phil Hall, Port Director – Mersey Division at Peel Ports, said: “We are delighted to be working with Briggs, a key strategic partner. This supports Peel Ports objective to stay at the forefront of innovation and our joined up approach contributes to delivering industry leading safety management systems.”
