Local warehouse lighting in Urmston
In Urmston 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Urmston warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Urmston is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts M41, M32 and M17. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
