THE LOADING DOCK – A GATEWAY TO PRODUCTIVITY

An efficient flow of products into and out of distribution facilities is essential in today’s competitive supply chain market. The loading dock is the gateway where this all takes place and needs special consideration regarding the layout, function and ongoing maintenance of the equipment that occupies this space. Several features and functionality must be considered when coordinating dock heights and door sizes and choosing the appropriate loading dock equipment.

The Biggest ROI In Your Warehouse
– The Loading Dock

While the most valuable asset in your warehousing and distribution business are your employees, and co-workers, the loading dock provides the biggest return on investment when all the major components are considered.

The cost of having any one piece of loading dock equipment fail can result in increased repair costs, down-time, and reduced profitability.  The first touchpoint is the dock bumper, which if worn down or faulty, can result in the delivery vehicle over-penetrating the dock opening, causing severe consequences.  From there, the truck restraints can encounter damage and not engage correctly, dock seals can be compressed, and dock levelers, loading pads, and building walls can also be affected.

Costs can add up quickly.  
Your warehouse efficiency and profitability are the first things to be impacted, not to mention the safety and performance of your warehouse staff. ZoneRite can help you mitigate these risks.
