Transfer Van Module
In consultation with members of the funeral and cremation industry we have developed a module that provides an efficient, ergonomic, worker friendly system to utilize the full capacity of any transfer van. This helps to minimize the risk of back injury and assists compliance with health and safety regulations and requirements. Other advantages include its appearance, (neat and clean), easy to wash as well as its durability.
There are many vans, and variants, in circulation throughout Australia. The equipment therefore is proven and reliable in the field and the industry can reap the benefits of the development work Austeng has carried out with the funeral industry.
The concept of the equipment is a fixed height roller bed attached to the floor of the van. An elevating roller bend travels between the floor level and 2/3 height of the internal van space. The elevating platform will stop and lock in any position. The top deck is designed to maximise available vehicle space.
The lift system is either hydraulic “phased” cylinders or a fully-electric linear actuators ensure the platform always lifts and holds square and evenly.
The broad specifications are:
- Capacity – 4 coffins or equivalent (two on floor of van and two on elevating platform)
- Loading – Elevating platform 250 kg SWL. Loadings on lower deck are limited only to the vehicles structure
- Elevating Platform – approximately useable length 2200mm fitted with five rollers on each side. Construction is smooth with no awkward corners for ease of cleaning.
- Fixed Platform – five rollers on each side with space under for trolleys
