Serco
and Lego: A Model for Safety
 |
| Maybury
installed 29 Serco Ultra Seals at Lego's loading
area in Enfield, CT. |
Lego
Systems, Inc., a division of Denmark-based Lego/AS,
located in Enfield, Connecticut, has been a Maybury
customer for many years. When they decided to expand
their loading docks, Lego came to Maybury for our expertise
in material handling safety and productivity.
Lego
operates their 450,000 square foot worldwide distribution
center twenty-four hours per day to keep up with business.
They service fifty trucks over three shifts and chose
Serco Full Control Hydraulic Levelers for the new addition.
In discussing their needs with Maybury, Lego stated
that their main considerations for choosing Serco were
safety, productivity and efficiency.
Like
Maybury, Lego has a strong commitment to safety and
holds a progressive safety program meeting once a month.
To ensure the safety of Lego employees, we recommended
the Dock Guard™ Barrier Lip option on Serco's HFC
hydraulic levelers. This option protects personnel,
goods and equipment from an accidental roll-off, whether
the leveler is stored with no truck in position, the
dock operator is end-loading product onto the back of
the truck, or even when the leveler is in a below-dock,
end-load position.
In
addition to installing twenty-seven hydraulic levelers
with the barrier lip, Lego also had Maybury install
twenty-nine of Serco's SL2060 Safety-Loc™ truck
restraints. These restraints increase safety at the
dock by limiting trailer creep, preventing premature
truck departure and increasing communication between
the truck driver and dock attendant. Serco's patented
dual locking positions restrict trailer movement and
safely engage most rear impact guard configurations.
If the unit should fail to engage, it automatically
recycles the unit into the stored position and activates
warning lights to alert dock personnel.
The
Serco dock equipment installed by Maybury helped Lego
to increase productivity and efficiency, while maintaining
strict standards for employee safety. Call us to see
how we can meet your dock equipment needs.
