Abstract/Summary
Consolidated Tobacco Industries of the Philippines, Incorporated (CTIP) owns a 4-hectare land and operates about 33 warehouses with an approximate maximum ceiling height of 9 meters or 30 feet. One of the primary operations of the company is the repair and maintenance of these warehouses. The repair and maintenance activities include, but are not limited to the following: lifting of heavy objects, renovation of the warehouses, repainting works, roofing repairs, electrical and wiring jobs, repair and replacement of lights and fixtures, and various cleaning activities. During these activities, the maintenance personnel need to lift heavy objects while traversing scaffolding for overhead works. Majority of these above activities require two or more personnel and the use of scaffolding to do minor repair jobs is time consuming.
With the design and construction of the semi-automated lifter or SAVeLift, the group was able to minimize the time currently required to do repair and maintenance works likewise, reduce some of the operating expenses as a result of these activities.
