Local warehouse lighting in Kirkdale
Loading bays in Kirkdale need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Kirkdale 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.
Kirkdale sits within Merseyside. We work throughout the L5, L4 and L20 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Liverpool, Kensington and Norris Green.
