Project Overview
We worked in collaboration with Toyota and Leeswood on the design and specifications for the new construction build of the loading docks and industrial doors at Toyota’s new Parts Distribution Center in Bowmanville.
For this new construction project, we supplied and installed:
- Foam frame dock seals with Rain-Stop canopies to create the tightest seals around their trailers to prevent rain, snow, cold drafts and dust from entering their new DC.
- Steel face dock bumpers protect the building, dock seals, dock levelers and restraints from damage due to accidental impacts.
- Steel overhead doors with windows to view the outside without opening the door.
- Rolling steel fire doors to keep personnel safe in the event of a fire.
- Air curtains for energy savings and improve indoor comfort by keeping hot or cold air out of their distribution center.
- Rotating Smart-Hook trailer restraints (AR-10K) hook on the rear impact guard of their trailers to prevent trailer creep
- CombiLock surface mount wheel resistants (CL-7000) restraints wheels to improve safety in the shipping/receiving area.
- Hydraulic dock levelers (NB-78-40) are low maintenance, durable and dependable.
- Edge mount dock levelers (EFH 72-20) are perfect for tight spaces and spots with limited floor space.
- Versa lights illuminate all the way to the backside of 53′ long trailers.
- Logi-Smart control panels provide easy push-button controls for their doors, dock levelers and restraint systems.
Continuing Support and Service for New Construction
Northern Dock Systems is continuing to work with Toyota after the construction project was completed with our full-scale solutions and services. By performing regular preventive maintenance on all their equipment, we can keep their docks, doors and restraints in peak condition. In addition to extending their equipment’s lifespan and reducing the number of service calls.
In the unlikely event of needing a repair, our emergency service team is available 24/7 to reduce their downtime and repair their equipment with fast response times.
Furthermore, they have been assigned an account manager, who will continue to work with them on any future new equipment installations that this distribution center might need to make them more efficient and productive.
