Having celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006, Thorworld was established by John Meale, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (FCILT), past Chairman of the Association of Loading & Elevating Equipment Manufacturers (ALEM), former president of the BMHF and now a board member of the Federation Europeenne de la Manutention (FEM), the European Federation of Materials Handling, where he is President of its Elevating and Loading Equipment Product Group.
The latest Thorworld Product Range Catalogue is packed full of materials handling solutions for specifiers, purchasers and users of loading bay equipment, accessories and safety aids.
The extensive full colour publication provides a comprehensive source of information for the company’s ever growing product line-up, covering everything needed for safe, cost-effective and profitable materials handling, as well as the protection of vehicles, plant and personnel.
A section of the catalogue is devoted to advice regarding the points to consider when buying ramps, such as ensuring that they fully meet all the relevant European legislation, safety standards and directives.
Thorworld Managing Director, John Meale, said: “This is an extremely important and topical subject considering the ongoing problems with inferior ramps and other loading dock equipment, without the CE mark, now coming into the UK. Using materials handling equipment that does not carry the CE mark, whether imported or not, threatens the health and safety of personnel in the workplace and businesses could also be risking prosecution if they use it”.
BSI registered with ISO 9002 accreditation since 1992, as well as CE mark certification, it was one of the first companies in the industry to achieve the latest ISO 9001:2002 international quality management standard.
Bespoke ramps can be supplied to meet individual customer requirements and a comprehensive service and maintenance back-up facility is also available to help ensure that these are always kept in top condition.
