Upgraded loading dock keeps deliveries on track

Published:  04 April, 2023

Railway fastenings manufacturer Pandrol has installed a THORWORLD modular loading dock and ramp to replace its previous Thorworld solution, which had successfully delivered 15 years of service at the company’s Worksop facility. The new solution, tailored to Pandrol’s needs, offers enhanced throughput and safety benefits.

“Our team thought highly of the previous ramp, but it was getting old and needed replacing,” said Jason Moody, Long Days Team Leader at Pandrol. “We wanted to bring our loading system into the 21st century and Thorworld remained our first choice, even after checking alternative options.”

Pandrol approached Darmax, Thorworld’s sales partner, to oversee the installation of a bespoke Thorworld solution which paired a modular loading dock with a mobile ramp. This combination allows Pandrol to detach the ramp when needed, whilst also allowing for use during power outages.
