Springless dual drive dock door revolutionises warehouse operations at Verhoek Europe
Verhoek Europe, a seasoned player in the international logistics arena, boasting over seven decades of expertise, has embarked on a new chapter of efficiency and excellence. Operating across the expanse of Europe, the family-owned enterprise is renowned for its unwavering dedication to quality, service, and accessibility. Their latest endeavor, the cutting-edge distribution centre nestled in the Dutch landscape of Hattemerbroek, stands as a testament to their commitment to innovation.
State of the art distribution centre
At the heart of this state-of-the-art facility lies a strategic partnership with ASSA ABLOY, a leader in entrance automation solutions. The distribution centre, nestled within the H2O business park southwest of Zwolle, emerged as a collaborative effort, with Pleijsier Bouw spearheading construction, Borghese Logistics overseeing development, and Mies Architecture along with Pelecon structural engineers crafting its architectural finesse.
Steven van der Sloot, the adept project coordinator at Pleijsier Bouw, articulates the allure of this electric marvel, "This brand new, fully electric building is particularly attractive for a logistics company." Flexibility intertwines seamlessly with functionality, offering a canvas that can be tailored to various operational needs. Moreover, the prestigious BREEAM Very Good certification underscores its eco-conscious design, a feature that resonates with Verhoek Europe's sustainability ethos.
Overhead sectional doors
Central to this logistical symphony are the groundbreaking ASSA ABLOY OH1142P Dual Drive overhead doors, heralding a new era in warehouse access technology. From the outset, Pleijsier Bouw embraced innovation, recognizing the transformative potential of this avant-garde door system. Hans Bolder, Project Manager at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the invaluable learning that unfolds in practical application.
The collaborative spirit between Pleijsier Bouw and ASSA ABLOY fostered a seamless integration of the OH1142P dock doors, a sentiment echoed by Steven van der Sloot. "The OH1142P dock doors absolutely live up to expectations," he affirms, highlighting their remarkable speed, efficiency, and space-saving design. Furthermore, the presence of ASSA ABLOY engineers throughout the installation process ensured meticulous attention to detail, a testament to the commitment to excellence shared by all stakeholders.
The ingenuity of the OH1142P Dual Drive dock doors lies in their springless design, driven by Dual Drive motor technology. This innovation not only streamlines installation and maintenance but also optimises space utilisation, a critical consideration in warehouse environments. Equipped with IoT modules, these doors seamlessly integrate into the ASSA ABLOY Insight digital entrance management solution, offering invaluable insights to enhance operational efficiency and security.
Redefining the process of loading and unloading
The OH1142P dock door is complemented by a number of items to provide a comprehensive loading bay solution including DL6010S swingdock levellers, dock shelters and wheel guides. Together, these elements form a cohesive ecosystem geared towards elevating Verhoek Europe's operational prowess.
As Verhoek Europe's new distribution centre stands poised to redefine the logistical landscape, it serves as a beacon of innovation and collaboration. With ASSA ABLOY's cutting-edge solutions at its core, the facility embodies a vision of efficiency, reliability, and sustainability—a testament to the unwavering commitment to excellence that defines both Verhoek Europe and its partners.
