Integrated Third Party Logistics relies on Stertil Dock Products to support 24/7 operation


One of the UK’s leading logistics companies, Integrated Third Party Logistics (ITPL), relies on an installation of 32 loading bays from Stertil Dock Products to ensure the efficient loading and unloading of 160 vehicles every day. Vehicles arriving at the ITPL complex, which include 40 foot curtain sided and box containers,


deliver and collect palletised loads with an average weight of one tonne per pallet. When originally constructed, the ITPL warehouse incorporated 16 loading bays featuring Stertil


loading bay equipment. This original installation performed well in a demanding application over many years which led to the decision to install similar equipment to support a recent 14 bay extension to cope with increasing throughputs. The Stertil equipment installed within the new extension includes the latest generation of S-


series swing-lip dock levellers. Providing a dynamic load capacity of six tonnes, these levellers automatically adjust to the changing floor height of the vehicle during loading and unloading operations, even if the vehicle is unevenly loaded. Stertil also supplied and fitted its W-series curtain dock shelters to ensure exceptional


performance of the loading bays. These shelters combine sturdy aluminium frames and strong reinforced curtains to provide optimal sealing between vehicles and the warehouse building. To complement the energy saving properties of the dock shelters, Stertil also installed


insulated doors from its Thermadoor range. These doors offer a choice of insulation levels including higher value insulation for applications where temperature control is critical. Completing the range of Stertil dock products installed at the ITPL warehouse are L-shaped rubber bumpers which effectively prevent damage to the loading bay caused by reversing vehicles.

Safe and economical planning of electrical systems


Wieland Electric's PODIS® 5G6 energy bus supports easy acceptance of electrical systems thanks to ul system approval


Wherever systems need to be supplied with energy over long distances, energy bus systems shine. When projects are being designed, whether they are airports, warehouses, or distribution centres, the planning and, more importantly, the acceptability of the electrical systems can be a major challenge for project planners and designers. If the components utilised have the necessary approvals, the effort involved can be considerably reduced. This is exactly what Wieland Electric's podis® 5G6 energy bus system gives, having recently gained UL system approval, adding to its’s existing TUV compliance. This means that exporting companies in particular, benefit from less testing and save time when it comes to getting their electrical systems approved. Wieland Electric now has a fully and coherently documented installation system, thanks to


the UL 2875 certification of the podis® 5G6 power bus systems, make it considerably easier to approve electrical installations on site, both in Europe and North America.
