Loading bay systems
Every year, there are over 5,000 accidents involving transport in the workplace, and despite the many safety improvements to equipment over recent decades, the loading bay remains one of the most dangerous parts of a warehouse, states Jonathan Bowdler, service sales manager of Pickerings Lifts Loading Systems.
He comments: “With the majority of injuries being to pedestrians working around them, good housekeeping, regular servicing and maintenance and appropriate health and safety for loading bay systems are key, whilst making sure the necessary handling throughput rates are achieved too.”
Pickerings Lifts Loading Systems provides a range of loading systems from dock levellers and roller shutters to industrial sectional doors and vehicle restraints. It also provides a comprehensive service offering, including service contracts, a 24/7 emergency call-out repair service and maintenance agreements.
