Warehouse lighting in Loanhead
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Loanhead around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Loanhead
Loading bays in Loanhead need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Loanhead distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
We cover the whole of Loanhead, including the EH20, EH18 and EH25 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Roslin, Bonnyrigg and Rosewell.
