Choosing the correct type of flooring and line marking is critical to the safety and efficiency of the modern warehouse.
The clear demarcation of storage areas, pedestrian walkways and material handling equipment routes must all be assessed to ensure personnel and stock remain safe at all times.
ASG Services has been supplying physical barriers, line marking and safety signs to warehouse operators as part of its core services for 25 years. These have helped to ensure the safe segregation of people and machinery within many warehouse operations.
By working in close collaboration with its customers, ASG Services helps them to understand which type of line marking will best suit their operation.
Chris Hopkirk, Sales Director, ASG Services said: “ASG Services is a market leader in internal line and floor marking for all kinds of warehouses, with a range of solutions to suit all budgets and needs. A properly prepared warehouse floor will enhance the safety and efficiency of the facility, so it is important that businesses select the right solution for them.
“We work in collaboration with our customers and by getting them to understand what the operations within their warehouse are likely to be, we can help them identify the right line marking solution for their needs.
Once we have understood the volume, weight and various activities performed by their MHE, so we can best advise them on the most appropriate preparation and resin to use.”
One of ASG’s specialisms is Shot Blasting, which is a durable and versatile method of floor marking favoured by many customers for speed of installation and lifespan.
Specified for facilities with busy FLT movements, shot blasting can be installed on most floors, making it suitable for old and new warehouses or distribution centres which need cost-effective floor marking, but where long-lasting durability is not essential.
The most durable solution ASG offer is Diamond shaving. This is the process of ‘shaving’ an area of the concrete floor surface to reveal virgin concrete and a rough surface which helps the paint system key more firmly. This removes any seal or ‘Power Float’ coating and is done with the use of a specialised diamond blade shod machine to a depth of 1mm – 4mm. This preparation can last for at least five years, if not longer depending on usage.
The line edge created during this method provides an accurate and clean finish on prepared concrete, something not possible with other methods.
To help customers identify which is the best solution for their needs, ASG has developed a simple line marking selector tool which can help start a conversation on “anticipated life span”.
Once customers have completed the selector, they can call ASG to discuss how to implement the right solution.
