About The Client

Pace Farm, established in the 1970s, has grown into one of Australia's leading egg producers, supplying a diverse range of fresh eggs, including free-range, barn-laid, cage, and organic varieties. Operating across the eastern seaboard, they ensure that their products are readily available in supermarkets, food manufacturing, and restaurants.

The Requirement

To improve safety and functionality of the Pace Farm loading dock areas. The goal is to create a secure environment that separates vehicle and pedestrian traffic, reduces the risk of accidents, and enhances the overall efficiency and usability of the loading dock.

 The Challenges

• Durability and Strength: Products must withstand heavy use, exposure to vehicles, and harsh environmental conditions without compromising their integrity.
• Visibility: Choosing products that are highly visible to drivers and pedestrians, especially in low-light or high-traffic conditions, to prevent collisions and confusion.
• Space Constraints: Balancing functionality and safety within the limited space available in loading dock areas without impeding operations.
• Ease of Installation: Selecting products that can be installed efficiently without causing significant downtime or disruption to ongoing operations.
• Maintenance Requirements: Ensuring products require minimal upkeep while maintaining their effectiveness and appearance over time.

The Solution

After evaluating the challenges and requirements, Pace Farm selected a number of products, including the Heavy Duty Knuckle Boom Gate, Surex Pedestrian Rail, Heavy Duty Manual Industrial Boom - Double Arm, Loading Dock Stairs with Handrails and Magnetic Wall Mount Retractable Belt Barrier Kit.

The Heavy Duty Knuckle Boom Gate offers the following features:

• Durability: Designed with heavy-duty materials, this boom gate is built to withstand frequent use and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Controlled Access: Effectively restricts and manages vehicle entry, making it ideal for secure areas like loading docks, industrial sites, and commercial facilities.
• Space Efficiency: With a 2500mm span, it provides robust access control while fitting well in tighter spaces.
• Enhanced Safety: Separates pedestrian and vehicle traffic, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall safety in high-traffic areas.
• Ease of Operation: The knuckle mechanism ensures smooth and reliable operation, minimizing manual effort or the need for extensive training.
• Low Maintenance: Built for industrial use, the gate requires minimal upkeep, saving time and maintenance costs.

The Surex Pedestrian Rail offers the following features:

• Enhanced Safety: Provides a clear physical barrier to separate pedestrian walkways from vehicle or machinery areas, reducing the risk of accidents.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials designed to withstand impact, wear, and harsh industrial or outdoor environments.
• High Visibility: The safety yellow finish ensures the rail is highly visible, even in low-light conditions, improving awareness for both pedestrians and vehicle operators.
• Modular Design: The kit-based system allows for flexibility in creating barriers of various lengths, making it easy to customize and adapt to specific site layouts.
• Ease of Installation: The modular components are simple to assemble and install, minimizing downtime and disruption to operations.

The Heavy Duty Manual Industrial Boom - Double Arm offers the following features:

• Dual Arm Design: The double-arm feature provides enhanced stability and greater visibility, ensuring clear and reliable access control even in high-traffic areas or wide entry points.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with durable materials, this boom gate is engineered to withstand frequent use and harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for demanding industrial and outdoor settings.
• Manual Operation: The manual mechanism eliminates the need for power, ensuring reliable functionality in remote locations or during power outages. This makes it a practical choice for sites without access to electrical infrastructure.
• Improved Safety: Acts as a clear barrier to separate vehicle zones from pedestrian areas, reducing the risk of accidents and unauthorized access. The bright, high-visibility finish enhances safety by alerting drivers to the gate’s presence.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a variety of uses, including securing car parks, industrial sites, loading docks, and restricted access areas. The adjustable design accommodates a range of site-specific requirements.

The Loading Dock Stairs with Handrails offers the following features:

• Durable Construction: Built with heavy-duty materials, these stairs are designed to handle high traffic and the demanding conditions of industrial and warehouse settings, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Improved Safety: The stairs provide a stable and secure way to access loading docks, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Features such as anti-slip treads and a sturdy frame enhance safety for all users.
• Ease of Access: Specifically designed to bridge the height gap between ground level and dock level, the stairs facilitate smooth and convenient access for workers and equipment.
• High Weight Capacity: Engineered to support significant loads, the stairs can safely accommodate workers carrying tools or goods, making them ideal for heavy-duty use.

The Magnetic Wall Mount Retractable Belt Barrier Kit offers the following features:

• Space-Saving Design: The wall-mounted feature eliminates the need for floor space, making it ideal for areas with limited room or high foot traffic.
• Retractable Belt: The retractable belt mechanism allows for quick deployment and retraction, providing flexibility to create temporary barriers or cordoned-off areas as needed.
• Magnetic Mounting: The magnetic wall mount ensures easy installation and secure attachment to metal surfaces, allowing for rapid setup and repositioning without the need for tools.
• Long Reach Options: Available in 5m and 9m belt lengths, the barrier covers extensive distances, making it suitable for larger spaces like warehouses, loading docks, and retail environments. 
• Durability: Constructed from high-quality materials, the belt and housing are designed to withstand regular use in busy environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
