Assa Abloy.

ASSA ABLOY once said: When goods are on the move, downtime is the worst enemy. We could not have said it better ourselves. I don’t think anyone could have put it better or more clearly, and that’s what keeps ASSA ABLOY at the forefront of its field – access solutions.

So, what do ASSA ABLOY and access solutions have to do with us? The answer is access solutions for DHL and Schenker, specifically loading docks – and that last important detail: downtime. Let us explain.

The risks of poor surface treatment.

Working on loading docks can present many risks. The smallest defect can put the worker at risk, and all too often we get calls about loading bays that are slippery or have a poor surface finish. One of those calls was from ASSA ABLOY.

Loading docks are subjected to enormous loads and heavy traffic, and often this quickly wears down both the tear sheet and any surface treatment. DHL and Schenker’s loading docks were no exception, and they were getting tired of treatments that couldn’t handle the pressure. Any maintenance work means downtime, and as mentioned earlier, this is the worst enemy of logistics operations.

Problem solving at its best.

We understood the problem, listened to the needs and developed the fastest and strongest solution on the market. An acrylic coating that withstands extreme loads without cracking or flaking, with a non-slip surface and short curing time. The loading bay can be used again after just 7 hours. The downtime? Minimal. We carry out our work when it suits the customer best, whether that’s in the evening, at night or at the weekend – all with the aim of disrupting your business as little as possible.
