Pick of the pods
February 1st 2009 According to Easilift
Loading Systems loading
pod docks are becoming
increasingly popular. A
dock pod is a complete
standalone loading bay
enclosure, which can be
installed directly on to the
external face of a
building. Typically fitted
with a dock seal, dock
leveller or scissor lift and a
sectional insulated
overhead door, they are
suitable for new buildings,
extensions and
refurbishments.
They do not take up
valuable internal
warehouse space and
maintain the loading and
unloading function within
a separate and distinctly
confined area. With no
cross traffic to worry
about, this is a significant
health and safety benefit.
Installing a dock pod
does not require any
major civil engineering
work or building
modifications, as there's
no need for a hole or pit
to be created in the floor.
Quick and easy to erect,
without disruption to the
inner warehouse
operations, they can be
repositioned on site if
required and are also a
cost-effective retrofit
option for an existing
building.
Lightweight yet strong
construction provides an
insulated, hygienic,
weatherproof area – with
resulting energy saving
potential – making the
pods suitable for ambient
and temperature
controlled facilities. More articles from Easilift Loading Systems Ltd: |
