Warehouse lighting in Margate
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Margate and Kent. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Margate warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Margate
In Margate 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.
Loading bays in Margate need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Margate sits within Kent. We work throughout the CT9, CT8 and CT10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Saint Peters, Manston and Broadstairs.
