Stanley Access Technologies in Mississauga, Ontario wanted to transform a warehouse door into a dock level loading point for their work trucks. They required the ability to support pedestrian traffic including staff performing loading duties and drivers exiting their vehicles. With pedestrian traffic they also needed safe ground to platform access with an area protected from the vehicles using the ramp and platform. With the extreme climate in Southern Ontario they also needed a durable finish that would look good for many tough winter and summer seasons. Together with Stanley, Nation Ramps designed a unit that met all of their demands to win the contract. Once the contract was awarded the ramp needed to be designed, manufactured, delivered and installed.
The solution was a custom Nation Ramps ground to dock ramp, combined with a level platform and stairway that included a protected walkway. Having worked with customers like FedEx, Walmart and Home Depot, we understood the required deliverables.
Prior to beginning the manufacturing process, our engineering team produced drawings for discussion and approval. Once Stanley management were satisfied and signed off on the design, we engineered, manufactured, delivered and installed the custom ramp, platform and stairway in their Mississauga location within the required delivery timeframe.
