LOADING BAY SOLUTIONS FEATURE BESPOKE PLATFORM IMPROVES SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY


An increase in the weight of deliveries has led BM Catalysts to invest in a bespoke loading platform to help improve yard efficiency and safety. Europe’s largest manufacturer of


Catalytic Converters, DPFs and Front Pipes is now regularly receiving deliveries of heavy items which cannot be easily manoeuvred. As such a solution was required to allow the easy transfer of goods while ensuring staff safety. After researching options BM Catalysts approached Thorworld Industries. “We required a solution that fit into a particular corner of our yard which is not the standard 90 degrees to allow for the maximum amount of space for vehicle movement,” explains project manager


James Saunders. “Thorworld’s ability to create bespoke loading platforms and yard ramps together with their reputation for quality and speed of installation were key factors in choosing them as a supplier.”


MAXIMISING SPACE IN THE YARD Thorworld and BM Catalysts worked closely together to create a bespoke solution which maximised the use of space in the yard to ensure items could be moved without risk to the workers. “We are always striving to improve our processes as the business continues to grow, both in terms of productivity and health and safety and as the weight of our deliveries increased we knew we


needed a more robust and reliable way of dealing with them,” continues Saunders. “Although it is still early days the ramp


is doing exactly what we hoped it would and we are confident it will come into its own when the weather worsens.

CONTINUOUS SERVICE IN ALL WEATHERS “Previously we have been unable to unload in snow or ice due to health and safety concerns in using forklift trucks. However, the ramp will allow us to provide a continuous service which is crucial to any business while the non-slip coating will help keep our staff safe during all weather conditions.” John Meale, managing director at Thorworld Industries explains: “Creating the ramp for BM Catalysts was a collaborative effort and working that closely with the client really helped us to produce the most effective and efficient solution possible. “ It allowed us to install the ramp


quickly and with minimum disruption, reducing downtime for the client and enabling them to continue running their business as usual.”
