Yard ramp facilitates business boom

Relocation Logistics, a company which was formed in 1994 as a household removal firm, has evolved with the times and its clients’ business needs, by expanding its services to include the shipping and handling of wind turbine component parts and timber materials.

With regular separate shipments arriving from various global destinations, effective organisation and loading bay safety are key priorities for Relocation Logistics. The large parts it imports are often shipped on to trade clients and assembly plants, or alternatively stored, increasing task and logistics for the busy shipping firm. 

Relocation Logistics' Jeff Doran visualised a yard ramp concept that could significantly improve safety and function.

He said: “I spoke to Ian Langan, Thorworld’s technical director, and described a loading ramp design I believed could improve our business function. He seemed confident that he and the team could design and manufacture my concept of a bespoke ramp with castellated sides, which would allow our operatives to unload long items from the side of the ramp.”

Jeff feels his concept was successful interpreted by Thorworld, and he is extremely pleased with the finished and functioning result. The yard ramp has also been finished in bright orange offering visibility for safety.
