Increase Safety. Decrease Downtime.

Blue Giant Dock Lift Helps to Increase Safety and Efficiency 

THE COMPANY

Canada Post is the primary postal operator and Number #1 parcel delivery company in Canada, with over 6,200 post offices located throughout the country. Founded 155 years ago in 1867, countless people still rely on Canada Post to deliver the mail each day. Safe and efficient loading equipment is crucial for quick and effective operations.

THE PROBLEM

Canada Post realized they had a problem when their shipping and receiving volume efficiency began to rapidly decrease. Due to an aging dock lift with a limited weight capacity, the concrete pit below the dock lift had also begun to deteriorate. It was only a matter of time before their old dock lift stopped working. This was not an option as broken dock equipment would drastically slow down - and possibly cease - shipping and receiving operations.

After thorough evaluation of our tender, Canada Post selected Blue Giant’s Nation C.A.R.E.® team to help them find the right solution: equipment built to withstand heavy loads, increase employee safety, and prevent downtime during installation and future shipping and receiving.

THE SOLUTION

Upon assessing the situation, the Nation C.A.R.E.® team proposed a new concrete pit, bollards, and an 8,000lb. capacity Lomaster Stationary Dock Lift with superior lifting capacity. To further increase safety, an innovative swing door system was incorporated into the dock lift solution. This system features a sensor to ensure that the entire dock lift is securely locked into place before lifting. In collaboration with our dealer, Hansler Industries, the concrete pit was replaced, and the new dock lift solution was installed. This solution has increased the capacity, efficiency, and volume of shipping and receiving at Canada Post, while also helping to improve safety.
