Warehouse lighting in Stockport
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Stockport sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Stockport
Loading bays in Stockport need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Stockport 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.
Stockport sits within Greater Manchester. We work throughout the SK1, SK3 and SK4 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bredbury, Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme.
