Loading bay equipment manufacturer ThorWorld Industries Ltd is marking its 21st anniversary by changing the colour of its products to red.
The Chesterfield company, which also makes mobile yard ramps, says painting the equipment red instead of the previous green will improve safety.
Managing director John Meale noticed during business travels that red was commonly used for loading bay equipment in several countries.
He said: “If it is more visible it should help improve employee safety and reduce workplace accidents, which is why we have decided to phase in red as the new corporate colour across our entire product range – starting with the recent introduction of our new electro-hydraulic dock levellers.”
ThorWorld supplies a wide range of products including dock shelters and seals, dock levellers, dock plates and boards, dock and vehicle bumpers and modular loading docks, to facilitate safe, efficient working and protection of vehicles, plant and personnel.
