What Are Docking Systems & Loading Bays?
Docking systems and loading bays are integral to countless businesses and organisations across the globe. They are used for the loading and unloading of goods and products from large vehicles. These designated areas can be a fully enclosed section of an industrial site or an access point that sits flush against an exterior warehouse wall.
A wide range of different businesses require docking systems and loading bays. This includes logistics firms, distribution centres, manufacturing plants, storage facilities and so on.
The loading and unloading of goods is something that occurs on a regular basis in this industry and these processes need to be completed rapidly to meet deadlines and targets. As domestic and international shipping activity continues to rise, we can expect to see an increased demand for docking systems and loading bays. Having safe and efficient solutions in place is critical; it allows for improved operational efficiency and reduces potential risks for both staff and products.
Our Docking System & Loading Bay Solutions
Dock Levellers
Vehicles used to transport goods, such as trucks and lorries, come in all different shapes and sizes. This can be a problem when attempting to load and unload these vehicles, as there can be a height discrepancy between the vehicle and the platform it’s being loaded from or unloaded onto.
Dock levellers will bridge the gap between vehicles and loading bays. This will allow for more efficient loading and unloading. They also improve health and safety standards which reduces the risk of employee injury or damage to inventory.
Dock levellers come in three primary types: hydraulic levellers, manual dock levellers and telescopic lip levellers. Each of these offers its own advantages and disadvantages. Speak to TPS Industrial and we can advise the best dock leveller system for your organisation.
Scissor Lifts for Loading Bays
Scissor lifts are used in loading docks for the lifting of heavy goods and materials. With a unique crisscross structure, scissor lifts offer flexible height adjustment which make them perfect for sites where vehicles of various heights are loaded and unloaded.
Lifting and transporting heavy goods can be dangerous. It can put the health and well-being of staff at risk and can lead to damaged products if a fall or accident was to occur. Scissor lifts can do the heavy lifting for you. This essential piece of loading bay equipment will enhance loading bay flexibility for your business and reduce manual handling risks.
Dock Shelters & Seals
Adverse weather conditions can have a serious impact on logistics and distribution businesses. Protecting your facility from the elements should be a top priority, with dock shelters and seals offering an effective shield against adverse weather.
Whether it’s inflatable dock shelte0rs or rigid dock shelters, these protective coverings will keep your loading bays secure, preventing potential damage that can be caused by rain, wind or snow. Dock shelters and seals also improve thermal efficiency. They work to maintain a consistent temperature, which benefits staff, products and machinery, reduces energy loss and cuts energy consumption costs.
