Busy paper merchant gets 12 new dock shelters

Denmaur’s Andy Moore, who is deeply involved in the refurbishment, said: “The loading bays all had dock shelters on them, but they were way past their sell-by date. Some had collision damage, some had not been looked after, some were 15 years old.”

Moore added: “Replacing them was a priority, and I wanted to do it during the summer as well so that we had the best chance of good weather.”

Andy contacted loading bay specialist, sara LBS, so areas sales manager, Alan Ryder, visited the site to discuss requirements: “I was able to recommend the use of our standard retractable dock shelters, and together we worked out that the best schedule was to break the installation into two halves. We would take down six of the old shelters and replace and then repeat the process for the other six. This would allow us to get the job done quickly and efficiently, and Denmaur would remain operational throughout. In the end the whole job was completed in four days.”

sara LBS supplied, installed and maintained the full range of loading bay equipment. It is able to help clients optimise the design and fitting out of their loading bays to meet capacity and special needs such as weather protection, hygiene control and heavy lifting.

The dock shelters are compatible with all loading docks from sara LBS. They are based on a 3mm thick PVC Derco side and head curtains. These are mounted in a main frame, which can be made from either galvanised steel or treated timber, while an ‘aerolastic’ wind guy system ensures the curtains remain stable and maintain position throughout their deployment.

Ryder explained: “We offer a number of standard sizes, plus a bespoke design service. There are also a number of special features and optional extras such as yellow traffic marker stitching to aid vehicle positioning and bottom seal curtains.”

Concluding Ryder said: “We also have a range of aesthetic finishes which allow us to complement the building and make it look smart and efficient. In fact Denmaur has fixed an eye-catching company sign right above the loading bays, which makes the whole side of the building look fantastic.”
