Loading bay safety improved

The Bristol-based company has evolved from a small print finishing business to a significant warehousing and distribution venture - capable of providing extensive services for clients including English Heritage and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales.

The outcome of offering such a complete distribution solution, from ordering to dispatch, has been a need for the Gillards team to adapt its loading bay accordingly, to create a more efficient and safer working environment.

Director Daniel Gillard said: “After considering several options, we found that Thorworld Industries’ Lightweight Mobile Loading Platform presented a complete solution capable of meeting our requirements, being portable, safe, flexible and easy to use.

“Not only has investment in the platform created ‘safety confidence’ on the warehouse floor, but the design of the equipment has really speeded up the whole process. Accessing containers isn’t just safer, it’s also more efficient than the previous methods we were using, which is exactly what we were hoping for.”

The flexible design of the Thorworld apparatus allows Daniel’s staff to move the platform around the warehouse using just a forklift vehicle. Once successfully relocated, it can then be positioned with ease, safely and securely - exactly where and when it’s needed.
