Case Study: ​Stannah Dishes up the Goods in Wetherspoons

Running a Wetherspoons pub is thirsty work, but a Stannah Goodsmaster CD Plus (chain drive) goods attendant lift makes light work of it in the Leeds City Station outlet of this real-ale chain pub in West Yorkshire.

Lugging up to 1500kg between basement and ground level in this buzzing venue open up to 19 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Goodsmaster’s payload includes barrels of beer, ingredients for an all-day food menu, and the person lugging the goods in and out of the lift.

That’s some consignment, and Stannah Marketing Manager, Jo Monro, states why this goods attendant lift is built for the job:

“This chain-drive goods lift is ideal for installing in locations where headroom and pit are limited. No separate motor room or load bearing shaft is needed and the control cabinet is mounted to suit site requirements. The chain drive is quiet and efficient, with VVF operation for greater levelling accuracy. A Stannah Goodsmaster, that can also carry an attendant when necessary, is just what was needed for this wide-awake Wetherspoons pub in a non-stop location.”

A tough, grey baked-enamel finish to the car, door and landing entrance help this lift weather the daily load, and stainless steel concertina gates and chequer-plate floor provide further in-transit protection of goods and attendant over a distance of 6 metres.

As with all Stannah lift products, the Goodsmaster CD Plus goods attendant lift is covered by Stannah’s comprehensive lift servicing plan, with four service visits and out-of-hours service cover in the first year by the North West England and North Wales branch of Stannah Lift Services, part of a nationwide network providing comprehensive lift servicing and support.
