Double-deck loading bay height change?

摘要

Transdek is recommending a new loading bay height at distribution centres handling high volumes, with fixed double-deck trailers. Most bays are constructed with a raised floor height of 1,200mm to enable a straight run through of loads onto single deck trailers, with minor height adjustments via dock levellers. With increased use of double-deck trailers, which typically feature 900mm and 2.9m decks, lifts are essential equipment to fill both levels, he says, necessitating double handling.
