Tower Lifts Installs a Dumb Waiter for JD Sports in Doncaster

The measure of a great invention is that it has the capacity to change the way we live our lives without us noticing how it happened. Think of the ball-point pen, or the mobile phone. For most people lifts – or elevators – are to do with the vertical transportation of passengers, but from the very start lifts were providing a far more wide-ranging potential for innovation in the industrial and commercial sectors. If lifts can move people between floors they can also move goods and, whilst this may sound like stating the obvious, the application of this idea has transformed operations for light industry, hospitality and retail. The movement of goods can be streamlined through the use of goods lifts, removing the need for excessive manpower and increasing efficiency by regulating the speed and regularity of delivery.

Dumb Waiter Installation Enhances Efficiency for JD Sports

JD Sports has 800 branches across the UK, each of which needs to maximise the efficiency of the way in which goods are transported from the delivery vans to the stockroom and from the stockroom to the sales floor on a daily basis. JD recognised that the value of the sales staff lay in their interactions with customers, and yet they were constantly being pulled off the sales floor to retrieve stock. In consultation with Tower Lifts, a dumb waiter lift was installed in the Dundrum Shopping Centre branch, in Ireland, in order to address this problem. JD Sports were delighted with the results; this simple goods lift – modified to suit the specific needs of the store – delivered a cost-effective and time-efficient method of placing the maximum number of sports trainers before customers with the minimum amount of physical effort, meaning sales staff stayed on the sales floor.
