Our client has seen continuous growth since they started in 1970 and are still  continuing to grow.  They had a new warehouse built in 2018, and have already outgrown their loading and unloading operational side of the business.

Following a site survey by our experienced Project Manager, we worked together to produce a designed to fulfil their growing needs.  Following the approval of our  drawings ,Armo UK undertook to manufactured and installed the following product to meet their client's future requirements. 

1no. ARTL Telescopic Lip Dock Levellers with a 1000 mm lip length. As the names suggests, the dock leveller is suspended from its top edge, allowing the underside of the pit to be clear for access by tail lifts. This gives clear access when docking the vehicles. This Model ARTL is in full Compliance with BS EN 1398.

2no. ARSR Retractable Dock Shelter caters for a mixed vehicle fleet with curtains that extend in from the sides and head, allowing a vehicle to push through and keep the worst of the elements at bay. The curtains are designed to flex but maintain contact with the rear of the vehicle to maintain the seal.

2no. ARDB Loading Dock Buffers are made from heavy duty solid rubber, fixed to a prime and painted solid steel backing plate using M24 fixings and the plate in turn is welded in position to provide a long-lasting solid fixing.

2no. ARTL LED Traffic Light are for the loading bay. The traffic lights were red over green LED lights, provided in fully sealed black moulded units, complete with small sun visors. These are interlocked to the loading bay, so the light shows green when the door is closed and red whenever the door is open.

2 no. ARBD Wheel Alignment Guides are manufactured with soft radius bends and are supplied for installing centrally to the loading bay, circa 2000 mm from the dock face. The reversing vehicle slots between the guides, ensuring that the vehicle docks safely and centrally onto the loading bay.

3no. AROD Insulated Sectional Overhead Door  tracks are our galvanised steel ‘J’ type, which are designed to give free and easy running for bearing rollers. These tracks are mounted onto a heavy-duty galvanised jamb angle. The perimeter of the doors is fully sealed, as well as the intermediate panel joints, providing the most effective weather seal to the door.
