Hills Prospect is a leading drinks distributor operating a fleet of 40 vehicles from its Romford distribution centre. The site services a wide range of delivery vehicles and has historically relied on standard dock levellers to support daily loading and unloading operations across multiple distribution schedules.
The two existing level-access bays were inefficient and raised operator safety concerns. Transdek collaborated with Hills Prospect to develop a bespoke solution to improve loading speed and working conditions. The design incorporated a 56m² raised internal platform with safety barriers, steps, handrails and two Hörmann mini docks with manually operated lips.
The bespoke platform was delivered, constructed and operational within four days, increasing fully operational loading bays from four to six. This significantly improved loading efficiency and site throughput, enabling the depot to manage peak seasonal demand, including Christmas and New Year, while enhancing operator safety and overall working conditions.
