Taking lessons learned from COVID-19 to further improve the loading environment:

1. Maintaining a constant temperature

Companies from industries nationwide have, over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, experienced unexpected learning curves that will potentially change business function for the future.

Logistics is one such sector, and as organisations review crisis management lessons surrounding essential food dispatch and medical supply storage, we can benefit from hindsight to ensure that companies are well prepared to deal with similar situations should they arise.

Successful delivery of food and medicines is reliant on effective storage temperatures, and with the summer of 2020 experiencing a series of considerable hot spells, maintaining warehouse temperatures to assure safe food hygiene and medicine stability standards becomes increasingly important.

COVID-19 showed us how critical safe, dependable deliveries were; with the country depending on vital supplies together with the capabilities of committed frontline despatch teams. At Thorworld Industries we manufacture and supply equipment designed to help maintain essential warehouse temperatures and make product, as well as operative safety, the main priorities.

Our specialist dock seals and shelters can prove essential in sustaining safe temperature levels, helping to support the logistical key workers who are relied upon to keep deliveries moving in challenging times.

The seal and shelter options we can provide are extensive and have been designed to improve the efficiency of loading docks by either minimising heat gain or loss in the warehouse and transportation areas.

Also, by avoiding workplace temperature fluctuations, energy can be conserved and heating and cooling costs minimised.

We can install Inflatable Dock Seals or an Inflatable Pad Seals to maintain temperatures in cold stores, or suggest Collapsible Dock Shelters for non-refrigerated facilities to reduce energy transfer and weather ingress.

To provide additional temperature and hygiene protection our Dock Shelter Curtains and Dock Shelter Aprons can also prove extremely effective.

There are a multitude of options, so to help clients choose the most appropriate solution, we offer a free survey and quotation service, implemented with all essential social distancing guidelines in place.
