Products from the company’s range are relied upon by thousands of users in many industries includinglogistics,manufacturing,food&drink,transportation, pharmaceuticals, engineering and many others. In recognition of the company’s extensive technical expertise and many years’ experience of successful collaboration with Chetwood Architects, Stertil Dock & Door Products was invited to put forward detailed proposals for the Baytree project in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. A total of 26 loading bays have been installed featuring a range of Stertil products including dock levellers, dock bumpers, dock shelters, dock doors and level access doors. Each loading bay incorporates the Stertil WE 574 collapsible frame dock shelter measuring 3400mm wide by 3600mm high. Comprising rugged head and side curtains, the W Series range of dock shelters can be tailored to fit and effectively seal almost every type and size of vehicle – a perfect combination of versatility, reliability and effectiveness. Within the dock shelter, at the heart of the loading bay installations, is the Stertil X-Series dock leveller, type XF3020, which offers a safe platform capacity of six tonnes. This latest generation of dock levellers incorporates a 600mm extending telescopic lip which enables the simple loading of goods, including boxes, cages and pallets, up to the absolute end of a vehicle or trailer thereby ensuring maximum space utilisation. This contrasts favourable with a conventional swing lip dock leveller that requires additional space to operate correctly. The telescopic lip is fully controllable at variable lengths of up to 1000 mm to make the X-Series ideal for efficient loading and Baytree Specifies Stertil Loading Bays
