48 Joloda AdvertorialHeinz use Jolodato go green!Joloda have just completed another installation of an automatic loading dock for the famous Heinzcompany we all know and love.The Heinz site in Wigan produces all thebeans, tomato ketchup and soup we eateveryday and also stores the productsthere in their NDC for UK supermarketdistribution.By using a Joloda automatic loading system, itreduces the need for forklift trucks which reducescarbon emissions. Also, the automatic system movesthe pallets to the very end of the trailer so all space isutilized, meaning less trailer trips needed.Heinz have already been using 2 Slipchainautomatic loading/unloading docks installed byJoloda nearly 12 years ago, one at the factory and 1at their NDC. However with the increase inproduct portfolio over the last few years ofHP sauce, new flavours of beans and saucesand now also new packaging of beans to suitdifferent lifestyles, their output from theirfactory has increased extensively that theyneeded another loading/unloading dockfrom Joloda to increase capacity.As well as the automatic dock systems,they have 4 slipchain shuttle trailers 16mlong, which travel the distance of ½ mile,around 30 times per day.The slipchain system they use handles upto 30 pallets per load and the trailers areloaded and unloaded in 2 minutes. Thisdramatically speeds up the loading/unloading process of using forklifts whichcan take 30 minutes or more.The Hydraroll Slip chain systemincorporates pneumatically activated rise andfall chain and roller track giving high speedpallet accumulation and loading andunloading of full pallet loads. The pallets areautomatically transferred from the dock intothe trailers which are also fitted with aHydraroll slipchain system. The slipchainsystem is used for short shuttles.This system is used worldwide by manywell known everyday brands, Princes, Nestle,Coors Brewers, Unilever, Proctor & Gamble,Pepsi-co to name a few.Issue No. 3They are saving several hours per day loadingautomatically instead of forklift loading, saving costson forklifts and working a much safer andenvironmentally friendly loading process.To discuss your loading requirementsplease contact:Karen Mc BrideJoloda International, 51 Speke Road, GarstonLiverpool, L19 2NYTel – 0044 (0) 151 427 8954Fax – 0044 (0) 151 427 1393Email – sales@joloda.comwww.warehousinglogisticsinternational.com
Rooflifters Advertorial 49Roofliftersa competitive advantageDuring these turbulent economic conditionsmany logistics, warehousing, anddistribution companies must seek waysto achieve a competitive advantage. But toooften that goal is hampered by a facility thatlimits their ability to do so. This is generallydue to low clear height, a common feature inolder facilities where usable cubic space isscarce.The ability to expand through additions, new construction,and the costs related to acquire and developmentnew land has made it difficult for many businessesto do so. Yet, the ability to uniquely transforman older building with low clear height exists, and ata fraction of the cost.By raising the entire existing roof, or a portion of it,buildings can be effectively modernized into valuableand functional facilities.ROOFLIFTERS, a company that specializes in thistype of renovation/rehabilitation, has been providinga cost effective solution a problem that many in thewarehousing industry have faced. An entire roof,including lighting, electrical, and mechanical systemscan be raised to double or triple the cubic space in abuilding. In doing so, a building gains increasedcapacity, efficiency, and property value. This processcan also be started and completed far quicker thantraditional methods that achieve the same result.With industry trends moving towards taller warehousespace many older buildings under a 24' areconsidered outdated. With modern high-reach forklifts,and improved lighting and sprinkler options,businesses are now looking at 32' and higher as thenew clear-height standard. According to theROOFLIFTERS website (www.rooflifters.com) there area number of significant benefits and advantages ofraising a roof.• Maximize cubic space. Convert buildings withinsufficient ceiling heights into modern high-outputfacilities.• Remain at your current facility. No need forrelocation.• Faster when compared to other reconstructionmethods that add cubic space.• Eliminate the need for additional real estate.• Reduce development and construction costs.• Utilize the existing roof structure. Limitingenvironmental impact.• Improve marketability of existing industrialbuildings.Many building owners are using this process toimprove their own operations. However, some aredoing so to either retain a tenant or acquire a newlong term tenant. By raising their building’s existingroof owners are not only improving their competiveness,they are also increasing the value and marketabilityof one of their most valued assets.www.warehousinglogisticsinternational.comIssue No.3
