No uphill struggle
April 1st 2009 When independent next-day
business mail company, DX,
acquired premises on an
industrial estate in London
sloping ground meant there
was no direct way for
vehicles to enter a planned
unloading area, as the road
level was over a metre
above the basement floor.
The solution is a
Thorworld loading ramp,
which was designed and
manufactured to the
customer's requirements. It
measures 4.5 wide x 8m
long and has a maximum
weight capacity of 8000kg. It
was delivered in two sections
and assembled on site.
Vans and 7.5t trucks use
the ramp, which is bolted to
the concrete floor, to reverse
down into the basement
unloading area. Once a
vehicle is inside, the shutter
doors are closed and locked
to provide a secure area while
the contents is transferred. More articles from Thorworld Industries: |
