What are the Energy Saving Ways for Your Loading Dock in Raleigh, NC?

When upper management of companies decide to conduct energy-saving practices, use energy-saving products, or go green, most of the practices include purchasing renewable-energy equipment such as solar panels, fuel cells, lighting sensors, and waterless toilets. Oftentimes, upper management forgets that focusing energy-saving practices on the loading dock offers the fastest payback.  

Passport Door and Dock Systems, a division of DuraServ Corp, highly recommends the use of sustainable solutions that will improve the efficient utilization of energy while lowering the energy costs incurred. Our company offers a variety of energy-saving products in Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Greenville, Wilmington, Cary, NC, and surrounding cities. We also have solar-powered dock packages that are readily available. 

Loading dock as the biggest potential for energy and money loss The loading dock has the greatest potential for energy loss and product damage. Openings in the loading dock leak cold air and allow entry of foreign contaminants such as dust, water, and pests. There are gaps between the trailer and the edges of the dock opening. There is a greater financial loss when the loading dock has multiple dock doors.  

Here are the top ways to save energy on loading dock areas: 

As businesses become more environmentally conscious and the cost of energy continues to rise, there is a great need for cost-effective and sustainable solutions that can enhance the energy efficiency of their operations and help reduce energy costs. 

Use good dock seals and shelters. Loading docks have dock seals or dock shelters that bridge the gap between the truck trailer and the dock. The dock seals or shelters are loading dock equipment in Raleigh NC often are exposed to pressure and compression when trucks back up to the wall.  

The role of dock seals and shelters include containing conditioned air within the dock areas. Infiltration happens when dock doors are damaged or there are incompatible or shelter or seals that are not fitted well.  

Fabric-covered foam pads on dock seals compress when the trailer back into them. These permit the tight sealing of the sides of the trailer and close the gaps between the door hinges of the trailer.  

Use HVLS fans. High-volume, low speed (HVLS) fans promote better workplace comfort to workers, reduces energy costs, and decrease the carbon footprint of the building in various ways.  

Below is a brief guide of the energy-efficient products you may find most appropriate to your needs: A. Serco S1000 Ultra Seal with Fixed Head Pad

Design Highlights: ·         Standard Base Projection: 10″ ·         Roll Formed, Galvanized Steel Side & Head Pad Backing ·         5 to 6 Internal Retention Straps Per Side Pad ·         Includes 30″ High Reinforcement on Tip at Bottom of Side Pad Profile ·         Includes Bottom Foam-filled Draft Pads ·         Available for Door Widths Up to 10′-0″ ·         Seals Hinge Air Gap on Trailers with Swing-out Doors & Provide Improved Trailer Access ·         Includes Dual Color Guide Stripe System: Inside Stripe is White and 16″ High x 3″ Wide; Outside Stripe is Yellow and 24″ High x 3″ Wide B. Serco Energy Guard™

·         Primary Seal Assemblies are positioned horizontally on both sides of the dock leveler to seal while the leveler is in the stored position or below the dock level. The seal is made of triangular shaped open cell foam covered in reinforced black vinyl and attached using a 1” aluminum retaining bar. ·         Triangular Shaped Seal & Pocket Design provides longer product life by allowing the seals to pivot with the motion of the dock leveler during the above and below dock operation versus scraping the concrete pit walls. ·         Secondary Seal Assemblies have identical construction as the primary assemblies but are positioned at a downward angle to maintain the seal while the dock leveler is operating up to 9” above dock level. ·         And more 

Loading docks are one of the most significant areas of any business when it comes to energy-saving costs. Different ways can be done to reduce the energy costs of any business.

What are the damages a hurricane may bring?

Hurricane comes with high winds, storm surge, flooding, and tornadoes, causing damage to property, costing human lives as it crosses its path from coastal areas to the inland.

Below is the Saffir-Simpson Scale, the standard hurricane scale, rating its severity as measured by the damage it causes:              

Category 1- Minimal

Category 2- Moderate

Category 3- Extensive

Category 4- Extreme

Category 5- Catastrophic

As based on historical records, the 1900 Galveston storm is the deadliest U.S. hurricane, killing 8,000 to 12,000 people and destroying a city. Economically the most destructive was Hurricane Katrina (2005), Secondly, Sandy (2012), technically an extra-tropical cyclone and no longer a hurricane when it made landfall, affected New York, New Jersey, and 15 other states.  

To lessen its damage, government and private programs have studied and researched ways to defuse, or stop hurricanes during developing stages, but until now still unsuccessful. Prevention through hurricane damage-mitigation steps is implemented with better warning systems involving real-time satellite imagery.  

Ways to Prepare Your Roll-Up Doors for Severe Weather

 One of the best ways to prepare your grocery store for a hurricane is to purchase hurricane-rated doors or wind-rated doors. Hurricane-rated doors or wind-rated doors are engineered and designed to protect the structural integrity of an establishment from extremely high winds and storm-like rains. They can protect your grocery store or building by resisting misalignment, bowing, and buckling from such intense force and pressure.

When a hurricane forecast announces is heading your location, better make sure to prepare your roll-up door with these few tips:

1. Before the Storm

Check your Doors

First, checking the moldings to make sure no blowing rain will enter beneath the door. This is the most vulnerable part of every door as it will help keep the stormwater out. Double-check also all the bolts and guides if firmly attached.

 Use Plywood

Protect your roll-up door against dirt or flying debris. by covering with a piece of plywood.

 Take photos of your facility

Document your facility by taking photographs and videos before the storm, as evidence for insurance purposes, that your grocery store is properly maintained. Include photos of the door curtains, from the inside showing they are properly attached.

At Cary Roll-up Wind Resistance, we have several roll-up door models, strongly built from highly durable material, such as:

Wayne Dalton - Model 800 Rolling Steel Service Door – offers flexibility in substrate materials with choices of galvanized or prime steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. An optional wind load rating of up to 55 PSF is available to cover your North Carolina wind load requirements.

Wayne Dalton - Model 800c Thermotite Rolling Steel Service Door – features a galvanized, pre-painted curtain of minimum 22-gauge steel with a wind load rated at 20 PSF.

2. After the Storm

Check the Door for Damage

Begin by inspecting the door for damage from the impact of flying debris. Check the curtains for chipped off paint and if found, you should touch-up to prevent rust. Try to open and close the doors to ensure they are still properly aligned with the guides.

Document for Damages

If you found any damage to the door, do not forget to take photos and videos. This will serve as evidence for insurance purposes.

Our roll-up for severe weather doors can provide one of the best wind load-rated door models in the market assuring your grocery store or establishment with full protection against strong rain storms and the high-winds of hurricanes.

Ways to Prevent Accidents from Happening at the Loading Dock Facility in Greensboro, NC

Did you know that over 1.18 million people work at storage facilities and warehouses in the United States? As based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), dated March 2019, these workers are laborers, tractor and forklift truck operators, and freight stock, material movers, and handlers.

As more number Americans who work on these facilities grow and so are the number of workers who get injured in work-related hazards and accidents. In the related reports by BLS statistics, these warehouses environment can be dangerous for workers.         

Why is a loading dock a danger zone? 

According to statistics from BLS, in 2017, the latest in its warehouse injury statistics record- 22 fatalities at warehouses and storage facilities in the United States.

However, the statistical number of cases involving days away from work (DAFW) at a storage facility and warehouse workers increase by almost 3,000 cases between 2016 and 2017. In 2018, the total was 17,390.

Additionally, warehouse injuries occur when manual handling, or lifting, forklifts, conveyor belts, material storage, and loading dock areas.

What are the types of warehouse injuries?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) listed below the most common warehouse injuries in a variety of ways:

Forklifts 

Caught In-between

Falls

Hazardous Materials

Hit by Something

Loading Dock Areas

Overexertion

Trips and Slips

Truck Accidents

What are the safety tips?

Accidents can be prevented by avoiding the conditions that lead to hazards. Knowing the occurrence or identifying the location of accidents is vitally important in preventing these hazards from happening in the first place.

1. Loading Dock Doors

With the fast-paced movements in the loading areas, dock doors are the most susceptible parts of the loading areas, from fast-moving forklifts. Vulnerable from collisions damaging them, or their ability to seal the doorway has been compromised. The resulting defect or deformity creates a space-gap in-between which gives moisture entry into the facility.     

Temporary solutions like “flex panels” may help, but with many occurrences and they don’t last long enough. However, most facility managers find impact doors as solutions. They are designed and engineered to stand up to the occasional impacts and bumps from product loads, forklifts, and even trailers.    

Ensuring safety is critical in high-speed industrial door environments. Passport Door and Dock System’s high-performance doors is an effective, intuitive, and completely customizable safety communication technology designed to increase threshold safety:

Why Add a Serco S900DD Dry Dock System in Your Loading Dock Facility in Farmville, NC?

Commercial and industrial buildings and warehouses contain a loading Dock or loading bay. Just as the name implies, a loading Dock is where vehicles that deliver goods are loaded and unloaded. There are three kinds of loading docks---fully enclosed, flush with the building envelope, or exterior.

Loading Docks are vulnerable to danger. These include forklifts that get in and out of truck trailers that make sharp turns to avoid staged pallet loads, open doors that lead to 3-foot drops to the driveway and stacked pallets that can drop on passersby. The worst among these is the danger of Dock floors that are wet or slick.

Twenty-five percent of accidents lead to injuries in Docks. Thus, loading docks are considered as a danger zone. "Slips and falls accounted for 34 percent of workers' compensation claims, putting these incidents as the second leading cause for claims," according to the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. 

These accidents connected with loading dock have claims that reach up to $6.6 billion yearly, according to the 2007 data of Liberty Mutual Safety Index. Research showed that the number of injuries related to slips and falls increases even though there was a decrease in the incidence of other injuries. 

Reasons Why A Serco S-900DD Drydock Seal System Should Be Added in a Loading Dock Facility

1. Moisture-free. The Serco S-900DD Drydock Seal System utilizes a wiper pad to keep external moisture and rain out of the loading/unloading area. This pad keeps the trailer at the door. This Serco dry dock system does not require high maintenance. 

2. Significant features. The Serco dry dock system Farmville NC features include an “automatic position that does not require manual activation. It has heavy-duty galvanized steel channel frame. It also has translucent fiberglass raked head frame for fast water drainage. It boasts of a high-resilient foam core protected with three layers of durable coated fabric. It also has weighted side covers that provide extra protection for the dock area. It has a rugged support bracket that mounts over existing equipment,” from SERCO. 

3. Safer workplace. One of the advantages of using dock seal Farmville NC is that they offer a safer working condition in the loading dock equipment. Floors are kept dry and injuries are prevented.  Unwanted pests and bugs are kept from entering business establishments. These can prevent workers from getting sick because of these pests.

4. Maximize efficiency. Using the proper dock seal increases productivity as the loading dock is the busiest in the workplace. Fear among workers because of unsafe working conditions delays progress in loading and unloading process. 

5. Extends lifespan of loading dock doors. The dock doors are constantly exposed to the wind and rain which makes them prone to damage. With the proper dock seal, the outer edges of the dock doors are protected from these elements. 

A loading dock facility has its concerns that affect its workers. Thus, there is a need for the business establishment to use a Serco S900 DD Dry Dock System.
