Bespoke expertise on tap

Loading/unloading equipment specialist Thorworld Industries has highlighted its ability to devise tailormade solutions to meet individual customers' specific logistics needs with a number of recent installations.

"With over 30 years' experience, we've come across all kinds of unusual warehouse and loading/unloading environments and received many challenging requests," explains John Meale, managing director of Thorworld. "We are therefore confident that we can provide a practical and cost-effective solution to virtually any loading/unloading problem by utilising the long-term experience and specialist expertise of our team." The process begins by visiting the site and planning an appropriate installation, tailored to the specific customer requirements and space available. Typical real-life applications have included a fixed loading ramp, incorporating an existing concrete ramp onto which a yardramp needed to be adjoined, and a warehouse where extremely limited space necessitated developing a ramp that could be moved sideways for storage once the loading operation was completed.

Thorworld's design team creates a blueprint using 3D CAD visualisation, to show the customer what the finished installation will look like and to confirm that the intended solution is practical and cost-effective.
