oncrete Grinding successfully completed a Fast - Track floor solution program for The Oxford University Press’s (OUP) new distribution centre in Kettering.
This was the first time in Concrete
Grinding Ltd’s history that not one, not two, but THREE of their Laser Grinders were used to provide speedy, precisioned floor grinding to 21 very narrow aisles (VNA). Working for Crown Trucks on behalf of OUP, the Concrete Grinding Ltd team carried out 3 wheel track grinding totalling 1080 metres to meet with the required floor flatness specification. Face Consultants Ltd were appointed to survey the floor before grinding.
This meant that areas out of
specification could be identified so that Concrete Grinding Ltd could focus their grinding work to correct only the errors, rather than grinding the full aisle length. This minimised the amount and depth of grinding which resulted in a cost saving to OUP as well as meeting within the client’s stringent work schedule.

enter 800 LED Eco Lights designed to work in relatively open environments as
opposed to silica gel and activated clay which must be contained within a controlled atmosphere such as a hermetically-sealed barrier foil bag in order to be effective. The anhydrous Calcium Chloride is contained within the top section of the pole and the liquid that is generated during the absorption process is collected in the bottom sump section of the pole. This unique design allows the absorptive qualities of the anhydrous Calcium Chloride to be maximised whilst ensuring that the liquid is maintained in a sealed unit. Generally 4-6 poles are required for a 20ft container and 6-12 poles for 40ft containers. The number varies according to the length of transit, prevailing conditions and the type of cargo. The design and size of the pole allows it to hang securely in the natural recesses of the container.

LED Eco Lights specified for Tradeteam distribution centre
L
ED Eco Lights has supplied a series of 100W LED High Bay lighting units for a new beer keg store at
Tradeteam’s food and drink distribution centre in Enfield. The new lamps typically consume around 75% less energy than a standard metal halide lamp. There’s no reduction in lux levels and their lifespan will be around five to ten times that of the fluorescent option – up to 50,000 hours. The fact that they can be simply installed into existing fittings – like replacing a bulb – increases their appeal. So significant is the difference that LED lights can make, that the initial investment can be recouped in as little as 12 months.

New Loading Bay Management System
L
oading bay solutions supplier Easilift Loading Systems has joined forces with one of the world’s leading access management system manufacturers to devise an innovative solution to the problem of drive- away accidents. Called the Anti Drive-Off Loading Bay Management System, the solution synchronises the dock door and associated control equipment with an electronic key control system manufactured by Traka. Both companies are industry leaders in their fields and their new collaboration has resulted in a cost-effective system which is set to revolutionise loading bay safety procedures and potentially save lives, while protecting many more workers from serious injury. The system, which can be retro- fitted to current installations, ensures that not only are drivers prevented from moving their vehicles, but that the dock doors are only opened by qualified staff. Furthermore, it provides companies with an audit trail, giving management a concise record of loading bay activity. Figures from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) show that loading bays are accident hot-spots.
