As part of the retail giant’s drive to increase transport efficiency and cut carbon emissions, Tesco UK runs over 700 fixed double deck trailers in to its distribution fleet. THE PROJECT To enable double deck deliveries to Tesco’s largest UK stores and to expand double deck trunking between DC’s, Transdek was asked to design bespoke warehouse extensions – to accommodate space-restricted yards at DC’s and low canopies at stores. THE RESULTS Transdek designed and manufactured two warehouse extensions at Tesco’s Weybridge DC, each sealed to the main warehouse and dovetailed with 2x 20-tonne Double Deck Lifts. The lifts expanded loading capacity at the site and enabled the use of double deck trailer. A series of dock extensions were also designed for many stores to enable double deck lift installs and high-capacity deliveries “Speed of converting the loading bays for double deck loading was critical to the success of the plan, with most back-of-stores having only one or two loading bays.” Fresh Stream Transport Manager at Tesco Products Double Deck Lifts V2G Yard Lifts 4-Pallet V2G Yard Lifts Scissor Lifts Dock Lifts Dock Levellers Warehouse Extensions About Project Management After Sales Case Studies Patents News Contact Us info@transdek.com 01302 752 276 COPYRIGHT TRANSDEK UK LTD | WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT BY CLICKY PRIVACY & COOKIES POLICY |SITEMAP FACEBOOK TWITTER YOUTUBE
