Nelson Works With

Customer To Create a

"Greener" Environment

The dog days of summer can take its toll on everyone in the South.  And running a business with rising utility costs during the summer months is an issue that all company’s face and accept.  Well, maybe not all.  Santa Maria Produce in Shreveport, LA  saw dollar bills running out the door every day and decided to do something about it.

Contacting the professionals at NECI, it was identified that large utility costs were being experienced due to design issues at the loading docks.  With activity at a feverish pace, the dock doors at the facility were open to delivery trucks coming in and out continuously during the day.

The older facility had oversize door openings that were 10’x10’ and a low dock height of only 30”.  Nelson evaluated the situation and proposed a method to close down the dock openings to 92” wide x 120” high with a 24” drop curtain and 18” removable bottom pad shrinking the usable height down to 78” , installed new dock doors and created a removable  bottom seal that sealed the opening around today’s higher delivery truck vans.

The end result?  A tight seal that saves money every day.  If you have a problem area in your facility that needs a creative solution, call the professionals at Nelson Equipment Company for assistance at 800.523.6199.
