When Arla Foods was designing its new £150 million fresh milk dairy at Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire it incorporated double deck lifts. But to make the most of the additional trailer capacity often means reconfiguring the loading bay. One of the ways that companies have been improving the efficiency of their distribution operations is by the use of double deck trailers. While there has been a dramatic growth in the number of loading bays in the average warehouse, there is also a focus on configurations and equally important, operational safety. No wonder there is so much focus on the loading bay. As goods travel faster through the supply chain, the ability to move products in and out of warehouses efficiently has become increasingly critical.
