How could something so tiny be such a
problem? Presently, as the COVID-19 pandemic grip nations all over the world
that spare no one, including the supply chains related to food-related
logistics services and other vital goods in Sterling, VA .
The devastation result made widespread
ripple effects, as felt in the different sectors and industries.
American organizations and agencies have
been taken measures to respond to, and eventually overcoming this pandemic. As
each company struggles to survive, with great urgency COVID-19 protocols have
been conceptualized, developed, and implemented to answer the new, novel, and
bigger challenge in face of this pandemic situation.
One of those best companies like Just-Rite Equipment, a Division of DuraServ, developed protocols and guidelines to
cope, adapt, and eventually survive. Safety, security, and loading
dock regulations issues are
some of its high priorities. The implementation would somehow, or at least
lessen the devastative negative impacts which would affect the company bottom
line and the very existence of any business.
Below we listed some solutions to address
the efficiency in loading docks applicable on different business industries and
sectors both locally and globally:
At the start, when COVID-19 struck the
American nation the supply chain had a dramatic impact involving required
measures, curtailed travel, quarantines, closed borders, and other
restrictions.
Afterward, every loading dock should
reappraise, think over, and implement protocols and regulations to adapt to the
new system, which should be taken of high urgency. Security and safety concerns
should be considered as top priorities to ensure company assets such as loading
dock seals, loading dock shelters, restraints, and HVLS fans are in good
condition and safe.

Safeguarding
Employee Health and Welfare.
Your workers are your priceless assets,
protect their well-being and health by using Kelley’s Industrial HVLS fans.
Kelly’s high-volume/low-speed industrial fans provide healthy air circulation
all over your loading dock areas and keep the facility working conditions and
its employees comfortable. Productivity will increase, reduces energy costs, and
improves the work morale of the workers.
·
Protecting
trailers using restraints.
With a lot of companies using only
‘skeletal force’ personnel in securing your loading area, thieves are open for
target opportunities like trailer hijacking. Safety equipment like Just-rite Equipment’s Kelley AC-16 Autochock In-Ground Restraint can provide
reducing the probability of landing gear collapse, creeping or vehicle walking
of cargo vehicles, and the continuous restraining force to the chocked wheel,
thus safely securing trailers even with less security personnel around.
·
Choosing the
right shelter enclosure and seals.
Secure your goods and products with the
right shelter enclosures like Serco S3200 Snap-back Dock Shelter. It maintains
secure and safe access during the loading process when the vehicle approaches, and
if the vehicle is off-center, it moves back and upward to prevent costly damage
to the wall and shelter. Then after the vehicle leaves, its gravity-biased
design returns the frame to its original position.
Moreover, it seals and separates the
internal and external environments and maximum security level of protection.
·
Consider
Advanced Lighting Visibility.
By using High Impact LED™ Dock Lights, better
and highest amount of visibility of the loading area can be achieved. Burglars
and would-be-onlookers would avoid, or not even dare to target your warehouse
goods or equipment. It can be easily retrofitted to existing dock arms or can
be mounted remotely to deliver a maximum light output to keep the dock traffic
flowing.
