LOADIING BAY SOLU IONS SOLUTIONS


FEAT FEA IMPROVING SAFETY IN CHALLENGING ACCESS SITUAT


As loading bay requirements changed at its North Yorkshire operation Kingspan Insulation decided to improve the


capability and safety level of its loading bay platformfor the second time.


An increase in the requirement to load PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation into the ba ck of containers prompted Kingspan to reassess t he safety features of its existing equipment. This lead them to enhance their current solution with a loading bay platformdesigned and installed by Thorworld Ind ustries. “We operate a busy loading bay and safe ty is our number one priority at all times,” explains logistics manager Joanne Foley. “PIR insulation has always present ed a challenge as it requires loading into t he ba ck of containers that are only accessible from a height.


“Becau se of an increase in workload we nee ded to upgrade our existing platform to incorporate the highest availabl e safe ty standard and instal l a platform with safety guarding and anti-slip coating. I needed a company that could complete the proj


oject within a three month window and I knew th at


Thorwor ld w ould be able to achieve this. “The company had previ ously installed a loadi ng platformat our head offi ce site in Pembur y. The design and specificatio n


of that solution met with o ur own


requirements here in North Yorkshire so I had no reservation in bringi ng them back on boa rd to upgrade the loading bay. Wo rk quick ly began on our proj was impressed by


the engineeri ng team’s oject and I


professional approach on-site.


“Everyth ing went according to plan, the installation was very successf ul, customer service w as second-to-none and th e quality of the work was excellent.

Ian Langan, technical and engineering director at Thorworld explains: “Safety in the loadi ng bay is key. When products or shipments alter, it is imperative that apparatus in t h e bay is equipped to meet its loadi ng needs while keepi ng operatives safe. We were very pleased to hear that the equipme nt we previously installed fo r Kingspan has been performing effectively so much so that they trust ed us to create as similar solution for another site.


“Worki ng this closely with customers is a definite benefit as we have a greater understanding of their needs and are able to provide a loading solut ion that fits their exact requirements.”
