WHAT IS DOCKING?
The versatility of modern loading bay technology has vastly improved the flow
of goods by smoothing the way at that vital interface between the warehouse and
vehicles.
Logistics is concerned with the handling of goods from storage, order picking
and packing, the actual loading right through to distribution. The concept of
"docking" covers the complete loading system, the equipment to
overcome the problems at the interface on a cost-effective basis by using the
individual components of dock leveller, dock shelter and door in harmony. The
critical factors are the characteristics of the goods - size, shape, materials,
quantities, temperature requirements and their punctual distribution, materials
handling equipment available and the difference in vehicle sizes. The influence
of these factors is complex and expert advice is essential from the planning
stage on to avoid costly mistakes.
