Warehouse lighting in Manston
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Manston and Kent. Loading bays in Manston need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Manston
In Manston 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.
Many Manston sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
We cover the whole of Manston, including the CT12, CT11 and CT10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ramsgate, Saint Peters and Margate.
