Sainsbury’s supermarket in
Andover has invested in a
CopriSystems’ loading bay
canopy to protect goods and
operatives during the
unloading process.

Side wall mounted against
the building, the canopy is
10m long, 6m wide and 5m
high. It protects a scissor lift
method of unloading and
helps reduce wind, rain and
dust issues. The canopy is
suitable for a ‘drive through’
unloading process as each
end of the tunnel can be left
open. If the ends are shut, an
effective airlock can be
created when the warehouse
doors are opened.

Made from galvanised steel
frames and with a PVC-coated
polyester fabric cover, the
canopy did not need ground
works and was installed in a
matter of days.
