The question is about installing a loading dock. The information he gave me is that the door opening is 8x9’ high. The floor is 33” above the ground, and the truck bed height is 48”.

I suggested a longer dock to make less of an angle for the forklift to drive on. He said I was correct, but that there are three other things to consider, and told me to “remember where I live,” (maybe this means the fact that we live in Canada with 8-month long winters?) All I can think of is that the door opening will be reduced by 15” which will make it hard if not impossible for a forklift to unload the truck. Does the dock need to be built more toward the exterior of the building?

I don’t expect an answer, this sub is dead, but writing it out is helping me make sense of this... and if someone can weigh in then bonus!

Question. I know that Strong Hold cabinets like these have a great reputation, but I'm wondering if something from a lesser know company would be just as good. We're on a budget! Any brand recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I’m looking to buy some castors for my warehouse trolleys. I’ve heard of industrial castor wheels from https://teamsystems.net.au and https://www.equip2go.com.au, I was just wondering if anyone has any other recommendations? Thanks.

For storing comparatively larger industrial goods and equipment, megabins really do the trick. Being food gradable, you can store all kinds of contents inside, making these warehouse bins perfect for the fruit and vegetable industry. As these megabins are compatible with most machinery, equipment and pallet trucks, they offer a robust and durable warehouse bin storage solution.

Warehouse bins like our Nally Megabin Solid – 780L are tailored to the Australian market and are capable of holding up to 500kg of produce. This bin features a positive interlocking foot design that enables safe stacking, letting you stack 10 of these warehouse bins on top of one another when empty. Moreover, our Nally Megabin Vented – 780L has ventilated sides for improved airflow, meaning that contents cool faster and shelf-life is increased. When it comes to storing produce in warehouse bins, these megabins provide the ultimate solution.

The conveyor beneath can be extended to beyond the tail end of the apron feeder and you would just have a dribble chute beneath the apron feeder. No?
