pecialist loading bay equipment and industrial door manufacturer Stertil Dock & Door Products has refurbished and upgraded an installation of loading bays for a leading distributor of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products. The upgrade to the loading bays at the company’s


Tamworth distribution centre involved the transformation of 18 existing docks into 16 lorry docks and two van docks. This allows the site to efficiently handle a wide range of vehicles including articulated lorries, double deck trailers, container lorries and Sprinter vans. An important element of the upgrade was the replacement of existing swing lip dock levellers with more versatile telescopic levellers. The telescopic lip allows the loading of vehicles almost right up to the edge of their decks thereby ensuring maximum space utilisation for optimum efficiency.

Wireless crane operation with Demag infrared control


erex Material Handling’s new generation of Demag DIR infrared (IR) remote controls provides crane operators with a viable alternative to conventional radio controls. One of the principal advantages of the Demag DIR system over radio controllers is said to be the considerably shorter range, of some 40 metres between the transmitter and sensor(s), which is of benefit when the operator wants to limit the distance at which the crane can be controlled, for safety reasons.


T reliability,


This specifically limited range ensures that operators are always in close proximity to the equipment, providing a clear view of the lifting and moving process. There is no risk that the IR control system will be influenced or impaired by radio systems and the IR offers no potential for interference with other radio controls
