Innovative loading bay and door development
August 1st 2004 According to Crawford Amber, over recent years a number of factors have focused greater attention on the performance of industrial doors and loading bays. The need to reduce heating costs has been heightened by the Climate Change Levy, with companies looking to improve insulation both internally and externally. Health and safety has also been given a higher priority, as has security.
There is interest in a more sophisticated approach to the loading bay, which forms a vital link in the overall supply chain. Aesthetics are also increasingly an issue at some sites.
Crawford Amber provides a comprehensive range of products and services to meet the demands of todays factories, warehouses and distribution centres.
Of particular note, 242 and 542 series sectional overhead doors fully comply with the latest harmonised European standard for industrial doors. The 242 is a fully glazed unit for applications that require optimum daylight, while the 542 provides enhanced insulation.
Another product designed specifically to meet up to the minute demands is the Load House a standalone, external loading bay module that can be quickly mounted at existing door openings.
Crawford Ambers innovative approach is also evident in its hafaEYE. Designed specifically to help vehicles reverse safely into loading bays, the system uses a sensor mounted beneath the dock leveller. More articles from Cardo Entrance Solutions AB: |
