Retail yard space maximised by turntable

Posted on Thursday 23 April 2020

The client faced restricted space in the service yard for the safe manoeuvring of 16.5m articulated vehicles.

Movetech worked in partnership with the client, architect and main contractor to install an all-weather, electrically operated, 40 tonne capacity turntable with perimeter monitoring system. Its use allows a ʻdrive in forward gear– drive out forward gearʼ policy, from a busy main road access.

Outcomes

  • The Waitrose branch is able to be served by full-size delivery vehicles rather than smaller bespoke units.
  • Valuable retail space was maximised because the service yard was able to be restricted to 17m diameter.
  • Local residents benefited from safer vehicle manoeuvring and reduced noise and other pollution.
