Retractable Dock Shelters for new client in Runcorn

A new client, Phoenix Healthcare, got in touch with Armo in August last year.  The Phoenix Group are one of the top five pharmaceutical wholesalers in the world and we were given the opportunity to work alongside them for a project at their Runcorn site. Their order was for the supply and installation of four Retractable Dock Shelters and Wheel Guides.

The Model ARSR Retractable Dock Shelters were made to order at dimensions of 3250mm overall width x 3600mm overall height. The projection of them was 900mm with the width of the front curtain measuring 600mm x the length of the head curtain which was 1500mm.

Our heavy duty retractable Dock Shelters are suitable for accommodating vehicles of varying heights and sizes whilst at the same time, providing an effective and accurate seal. The curtain of the Shelter incorporates two yellow guides on each side which works as an aid for a reversing vehicle and helps achieves a more accurate fit.

The wheel guides are manufactured with soft radius bends and are supplied for installing centrally to the loading bay, circa 2000mm from the dock buffers. The reversing vehicle slots between the guides, ensuring the vehicle docks safely and centrally onto the loading bay.

The managing director of Armo, Darrell Hopwood had this to say: “A retractable dock shelter is a great piece of kit for your loading bay because it is designed to accommodate a wide range of vehicle sizes . It helps to finish off the overall aesthetic of the exterior whilst providing an adequate seal between docked trailer and building façade, this is why we recommend them.”
