The busiest part of a warehouse or
facility is the loading docks. With so many equipment, trailer trucks, goods
and items, and employees moving around, it can be so difficult and hard to make
it more efficient and improve its productivity.
That is the reason why we’ve made these
eight ways to maximize its efficiency to increase the productivity of
your loading dock area:
Maximizing Proper Airflow
A good and well-ventilated facility will
allow employees to stay comfortable and healthy as possible, which will raise
their morale, increase work productivity, and more dollar profits coming in.
Facility airflow can be improved by installing HVLS Fans. HVLS Fans like
The AirVolution-D 550, the ideal solution for air movement in your mid-sized
spaces, and AIRVOLUTION-D 780, the most powerful industrial ceiling fan in the
world, both can deliver massive airflow to cool your extra-large spaces while
keeping your warehouse at a comfortable working temperature for your employees.
Good Lighting
By properly lighting up the loading dock
bay’s loading and unloading areas, the workers can speed up their workloads and
manage properly around their equipment and devices in a safe manner. 24/7 safety lights can
provide a safe working environment by preventing hazards and accidents from
happening.
High-performance Equipment
The Autodok® H Series Hydraulic Leveler
and McGuire Air-powered Dock Levelers are the most efficient and essential
high-performance dock leveler options. With a touch of a button, they will
automatically function with efficiency, stability and more savings with its
low-cost maintenance features.
Safe Zones
As always, safety first. Safety measures can
be done with safety
equipment and devices like McGuire’s Barrier Lip Leveler, which prevents
lift trucks from driving off the edge of the dock and Hold-Tite® Push Button
Vehicle Restraint, which virtually eliminating “trailer creep” accidents from
happening. Remember a safe loading dock is a profitable loading dock.
Strict Compliance of Procedures
To ensure efficiency and safety, all dock
equipment, and employees at the loading dock area should follow highly
systematized company procedures. That is why Overhead Door Company of Charlotte, a Division of DuraServ has a maximized operational and
improved energy efficiencies by providing and installing the right products to
meet the demands of today’s competitive environment. Offering loading dock
services such as for new construction, remodeling, and Turnkey Solutions,
across the nation for manufacturing, food pharmaceutical, and beverage
industries.
Communication
Proper, clear and constant communication
assures the loading dock processes involving the loading, unloading, and
vehicle departure to take place safely and efficiently. The APS LED Guide
Lights provides a light communication feature that sends safety signals to dock
staff and truck drivers during unloading and loading workloads.
A loading dock will be useless
without loading dock
levelers, one of the most
essential equipment that safely speeds up the process and eliminating
unnecessary workloads. Overhead
Door Company of Charlotte offers a variety of dock levelers
like mechanical
dock levelers, hydraulic dock levelers, air-powered dock levelers, and specialty dock levelers.
As tested and proven McGuire’s loading dock products
such as McGuire’s mechanical dock leveler, McGuire hydraulic dock leveler, and McGuire®
CentraAir® (CA) air-powered dock leveler, are an economical solution and can
provide an efficient system during the loading and unloading of goods to
maintain safe and productive relevant delivery.
Trailer and Truck Restraints
Vehicle restraint is a must for loading
docks. During the unloading process, when a truck docks they need to be secured
and safely stable to avoid misalignments that can cause hazards and accidents.
Powered vehicle restraints such as the TPR UniLock® Automatic Vehicle Restraint.
TPR UniLock is the only trailer-positioned vehicle restraint that can
automatically remove “RIG Wedge” pressure, this when the trailer is pushed
forward during loading/unloading and the trailer’s Rear Impact Guard (RIG)
applies so much pressure to the restraint’s hook that the truck driver must
reverse the trailer to release the restraint.
Considering all the means necessary at
your disposal, you can finally have an efficient loading dock that operates on
time and safe and offers several benefits such as increase customer
satisfaction, low maintenance costs, and more company profits.
