Sirdar Holdings, the Wakefield-based yarn brand, has utilised the design and installation services of loading bay manufacturer Thorworld Industries, to successfully streamline loading at its UK hub.
A solution capable of significantly reducing the time operatives needed to cross the area from loading dock to sorting bay, a distance of approximately 200m, was required. Thorworld designed and installed an indoor ramp and platform that would safely provide pedestrian access to the metre-high loading dock for operatives carrying loads or using pallet trucks.
Bob Taylor, Engineer at Sirdar, comments: “We’re delighted with the finished result – it is delivering in terms of our original objectives: to reduce operative manoeuvring, step up health and safety, and improve all-important working efficiencies.”
