A load off your mind
Thorworld Industries is advocating a simple solution to warehouse operators struggling with downtime, poor performance or health & safety issues: conduct an audit of their loading/unloading infrastructure to determine cost-effective fixes.
The loading bay equipment supplier’s extensive experience has led it to believe that many problems with functionality can be remedied by the adoption of low-cost accessories such as dock bumpers, wheel chocks or dock lights.
“It’s easy to fixate on the bigger picture in a warehouse, but often small details get overlooked – and these can significantly impact on loading bay performance,” Thorworld’s John Meale explains.
He adds: “In a loading bay, don’t rush into a time-consuming consultation process or a costly, comprehensive overall of the loading bay unless it is absolutely necessary. Sometimes, a quick, common-sense audit of your environment will reveal easy-to-fix issues.”
