Hörmann has installed 56 loading bays at
The Co-operative Group’s new distribution
centre at Newhouse, Glasgow.Working
alongside main contractor,Winvic, the
company installed dock levellers, angled
loading houses, dock shelters, chiller and
ambient sectional doors, steel door sets, fire
exit doors and LED dock lights.

Fully integrated control panels on each
bay boost efficiency and safety. Hörmann’s
hydraulic system with two lifting cylinders
and an independent third cylinder to operate
the lip (whether swing or telescopic) also
enhance safety. Both lifting cylinders have
automatic emergency stop valves that can
lock the platform instantly.
