Operating an international business which exports to 400 customers in over 70 countries, Lancashire-based carpet underlay specialist, Interfloor, has become one of the latest UK firms to further improve efficiencies and heighten warehouse safety standards using the services of Thorworld Industries, and its Rent-a-Ramp loading bay equipment scheme.

Renowned for successfully supplying some of the world’s bestknown hotels with Tredaire and Duralay underlays, as well meeting the underflooring needs of an impressive customer base of mosques, cinemas, casinos and airports, Interfloor’s international supply team depends on the effective function of a safe, efficient loading bay, inclusive of reliable, superior-quality apparatus.

With an impressive reputation for quality and service to uphold, after being named winner of two high profile categories at the prestigious Export Excellence Awards in 2016; standards at the company’s warehouse facility are set high, and are meticulously maintained.

To help facilitate this marked level of business practice, Interfloor’s industrious warehouse facility had been operating two, regularly serviced, rented Thorworld mobile yardramps; positioned to safely load and offload raw materials to and from trailers using a fork lift.

The equipment had been functioning effectively for three years, however to keep the apparatus updated, Interfloor opted to replace both ramps with brand new, like-forlike equipment, and commit to a further three years rental contract. Explaining the decision, Interfloor’s warehouse manager, Colin Bateson says:

“As a leading UK supplier of quality carpet underlay and flooring accessories, we regularly export to over 70 countries worldwide, which leads our loading bay equipment to experience frequent levels of demanding use.

“We choose to operate superiorquality, sturdy apparatus, that is safe and reliable; because being able to depend on such equipment is vital to our business function, product distribution and the retention of our esteemed international client base and reputation.”

Colin goes on to say how by benefitting from the installation of brand new, like-for-like Thorworld ramps, his loading team wouldn’t be at risk of using overly worn apparatus and would instead be able to perform duties and drive warehouse vehicles on newly appointed, engineer certified ramps; ensuring safe operation and guaranteed compliance.

“Thorworld’s approach was wellorganised and proficient, which meant our loading bay’s downtime was kept to a minimum. The equipment is exceptionally robust, represents excellent quality and enables a level of loading efficiency that meets our working principles.”

Colin refers to Interfloor’s committed approach to improving its environmental practice, where efficient loading can lead to more streamlined logistics and a reduced carbon footprint. “The rental rates Thorworld offers are extremely fair and can be made on a monthly basis to provide full flexibility. In addition, we chose to have the ramps serviced by Thorworld to guarantee a plan of expert maintenance and ensure utmost safety standards throughout the lifetime of the equipment.”
