Industrial door installation, repair and maintenance is part of an around the clock industry whereby working at height is a necessity. Whether working on planned or reactive projects, completion relies on partnering with a varied supply chain and requires a high level of trust in them to work effectively within project timeframes.
With the supermarket retail industry worth over £190bn and an estimated estate of over 12,704 stores, keeping them in good working condition and managing layout changes is a stressful business. Timescales are tight and jobs are often carried out at night by teams of contractors across the UK. This makes managing it complex and requires a high degree of trust in the teams and suppliers involved to deliver work on time. In amongst the project management challenges, health and safety regulations need to be met continuously.
Horizon Platforms are pleased to announce the launch of a new whitepaper aimed at racking, storage and warehousing professionals. The whitepaper contains essential best practice for the installation of racking. Particularly in reference to the selection, safe usage and management of scissor lift MEWPs and forklift trucks.
At Horizon Platforms, we have extensive knowledge of the warehousing industry and racking installation settings, as well as a specific nationwide fleet of powered access platforms that are perfect for any project within the warehousing environment.
Large logistic companies expect their employees and workers within their supply chain to prioritise risk management and ensure they are compliant with health and safety regulations – something we pride ourselves on. This gives our customers peace of mind and is just one of the many reasons we are a go-to for MEWP hire within the racking industry.
