Mortons Dairies, a family-run business based in Merseyside, has an eighty-year history of delivering milk in the North West. It has significantly grown since its start in the 1920s. With six depots and a team of over 180 employees, Mortons is dedicated to providing quality products to its customers. Alongside being a leading dairy wholesaler and supplier, Mortons offers a wide range of additional products. This includes fresh fruit juices, bread, cheese, and other everyday essentials, catering to the diverse needs of its valued customers.
For a company that caters to a customer base of over 55,000, the upkeep of its fleet of vehicles is of utmost importance. Mortons, recognising this, has established a dedicated workshop for servicing and repairing its vehicles, in addition to workshop facilities in two of its depots. These workshops are already home to a range of reliable Tecalemit equipment. So, when the need for a new 2-post lift arose, Mortons sought guidance from Karl Otter, Tecalemit’s Sales Manager for Northern England.
Choosing the Best Solution
Together, they decided on an SF/9025 5.0t, heavy-duty 2-post lift, a substantial lift suitable for lifting larger, commercial-based vehicles. The lift’s symmetric arms can easily lift long-wheelbase vehicles, and the drive-through width of 2.7m accommodates most LGVs. It also benefits from a baseless design with a clear floor between columns. This design allows equipment to be easily positioned underneath a vehicle without being dragged over a raised base frame, enhancing efficiency and safety.
With the equipment selected, the next step was its installation. To meet Mortons’ timescale, Tecalemit enlisted the services of Concept Garage Equipment, a trusted installation partner. Concept’s highly trained lift engineers swiftly and professionally installed the equipment, having the lift up and running within a day. With everything complete and tidied away, the team at Mortons’ were operational, confident in the quality of their new equipment.
We want to thank the team at Mortons Dairies for choosing Tecalemit Garage Equipment to supply their new 2-post lift.
