At INGENUT, Industrial Engineering Company in Tenerife and the Canaries, we continuously offer customised solutions. In this case, it was with our client, Vinca Equipos Industriales S.A., offering the international wholesale giant, Makro, engineering solutions in the shape of ramps and doors for loading docks.

Due to the installation of a cold chamber in the new facilities of Makro in Adeje, the Dutch multinational needed to facilitate access to such cold area from the store and the outside.

Doors for loading docks at Makro

In INGENUT, we started working to offer the biggest wholesale company in the world, Makro, the best industrial solution. To do so, we installed ramps and doors for the loading docks. INGENUT carried out these tasks among others: installation of an automatic quick-open door to facilitate personnel access from the store to the cold area; installation of an insulated tunnel; shelter adaptable to a great number of trucks, achieving a high level of air-tightness and cost reduction; traffic light to facilitate communication between the truck driver and the dock personnel; channellers to facilitate positioning of the rear tires of the trucks to avoid hitting equipment; and a manual sectional door to avoid breaking the product’s cold chain during truck unloading. INGENUT’s industrial solution, regarding ramps and doors for the loading docks, meant a remarkable improvement of the work quality for carriers and our client company. A need, a solution!

Makro is part of the German Metro Group consortium. Makro has currently more than 700 stores in four continents. This makes it the biggest wholesale company in the world and the third largest world distribution group, present in 33 countries.
