Warehouse lighting in Halkirk
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Halkirk and the Highlands and Islands. Warehouses around Halkirk often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
Local warehouse lighting in Halkirk
In Halkirk 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 plan lift access in Halkirk around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Our teams travel to Halkirk from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Thurso, Wick and Lybster, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Halkirk by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
