Stertil dock shelters protect Fox's biscuits
March 19th 2009

Stertil Stokvis has carried out a dock shelter update for premium biscuit brand Fox’s. The installation, at Fox’s Biscuit factory at Kirkham in Lancashire, has provided three new temperature-control dock shelters, suitable for a variety of vehicles.

Fox’s brief was to replace its existing standard curtain dock shelters with new temperature-control shelters to suit the full range of vehicles visiting the distribution centre including double-decker as well as standard articulated vehicles. The new shelters had to be high enough (4700mm) to allow for this and Stertil Stokvis WI305 ground-level inflatable dock shelters were selected. The inflatable side and top seals of the WI305 – made of high-grade Cordura – provide an airtight contact with vehicles and the model is therefore ideal to keep out summer heat, winter cold, draught, dust and insects. In addition to the improved working environment, this also offers substantial energy savings, increased safety and protection against intruders and theft.

"Stertil Stokvis bent over backwards to work the new equipment in with our existing loading bay set-up," says Fox’s engineering services manager, Patrick Quinn. "The result is a better-looking, far more efficient dock area which should give us many years of reliable service."
