Instore choose Easilift loading bay equipment for national distribution centre
Easilift Loading Systems has supplied loading bay equipment for a purpose-designed national distribution centre opened at Trident Business Park, Huddersfield by the Instore retail chain, in a contract valued at £160,000.
The building consists of a 350,000 sq ft warehouse fitted with 27 loading bays, with administrative offices for head office staff above. It supplies products to the company’s 250 stores nationwide.
Each loading bay has an Easilift electrically operated insulated sectional overhead door, with safety edge devices at the bottom and a tough ‘Plasticol’ finish to the external face.
To seal the gap between building and vehicle and protect employees and goods from extremes of temperature and draughts, each bay has a sturdy 3500mm wide x 4100mm high collapsible frame dock shelter. It features a secondary pull down head curtain to accommodate both double deck and conventional vehicles.
Also supplied were Easilift model 232 electro hydraulic swing lip type Poweramp dock levellers, measuring 2100mm wide x 2500mm long, with a 6,000kg capacity, that provide a safe and efficient bridge between loading dock and vehicle. Claimed to be the most popular in Europe, they are available with either a hinged or extending lip, in a wide choice of sizes or capabilities.
Accessories provided for each bay include an external LED traffic light and an internal angle poise dock light, plus an integrated control panel complete with mimic repeater traffic lights. The control panel is designed to operate the dock leveller, loading bay door, traffic light and dock light system.
Instore, which formerly traded as Poundstretcher, has taken an option on a further 150,000 sq ft of warehouse space at the Leeds Road site.
Phil Dinning, Managing Director of Easilift Loading Systems Ltd said: “As one of Europe’s foremost manufacturers and suppliers of high quality loading bay equipment for over 30 years, we clearly recognise that the loading bay is a vital link in the logistics chain. If the loading system fails for any reason, goods cannot be received or despatched, causing delays in the production cycle”.
“The selection, quality and correct installation of the loading bay equipment is therefore extremely important to ensure continued trouble-free operation. Our own engineers are fully trained to carry out all the necessary installation work”.
“However, our commitment to quality and reliability does not end with the installation, but continues long after through the provision of planned maintenance contracts and the availability of engineers to provide fast and efficient service”.
Easilift supplies everything necessary for the safe, efficient and profitable operation of loading bays, including dock levellers, dock shelters, dock seals, dock pods, doors, high speed doors, vehicle restraints and lifting platforms, together with a complete range of accessories and safety aids such as dock plates & bumpers, wheel guides, traffic light and integrated control systems.
