Loading dock alternative
07 April 2014
Worcestershire fresh produce transport company IDS Transport is benefitting from improved flexibility and operational performance after installing a bespoke loading system manufactured by Thorworld Industries.

The semi-permanent system – comprising a ramp, platform and dock levellers, bolted to the ground outside its warehouse facility in Evesham – provides IDS with an alternative to a permanent loading dock, something that the company was unable to install due to operational restrictions.
Thorworld designed a solution specifically for IDS, comprising a ramp, large platform and two dock levellers, accessorised with all the appropriate safety aids such as handrails, antislip surfaces and dock bumpers.
