Elevated walkways are the safest way of segregating pedestrians from materials handling equipment (MHE) in the warehouse environment.  Elevated walkways are becoming more common in and around large busy distribution centres across the UK, as manager and directors alike, evaluate their warehouse safety and workplace risk assessments.

Elevated walkways are relevant in buildings where large amounts of people work in various locations but especially in warehouse facilities that have significant distances between marshalling or transport zones and operational office areas.  Where this occurs people and machines very often cross paths, when the operation is in full flow risk to pedestrians is significantly increased.

Warehouse safety products reduce risk in busy areas, elevated walkways not only remove pedestrians from those areas, they also aid in identifying areas to keep clear of.

ASG Services use the UK’s leading providers of mezzanine structures to deliver such complex and significant projects.  UK building regulations must be considered when working with these types of projects so our providers are selected carefully.

Other benefits of elevated walkways in a warehouse is the opportunity to create additional storage in an ordinarily under utilised area.  Dock bay doors are, in the vast majority of cases, open to the roof of the building, and very often have marshalling lanes running some 20 to 30m from the door.  Redundant space in a warehouse is money burnt, we hope this helps confirm ASG Services focus on warehouse safety and warehouse efficiency, we know they are both paramount for you.
