Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Tain warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Loading bays in Tain need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Tain is a smaller town, covered by postcode district IV19. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Tain 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.
