Feintool

Project Overview

Delivery vehicles were being directed (via signage only) to use a one-way traffic pattern to access the loading dock for freight deliveries. Signage only had proven inadequate for preventing vehicles from turning off the main thoroughfare and coming the wrong way into the loading dock area.  The drive lane to be protected was a full 35’ wide, so the challenge was to add barriers that could cover and block that wide opening from wrong-way traffic. CPC designed a barrier system that uses 2 extra-long gates, paired in a configuration that would allow vehicles to exit freely, while preventing traffic from accessing the dock from the main road in the wrong direction.  Feintool requested specific colors and branding for the barrier columns, and also desired the arms to have green/red LED lights for high-visibility.  The customer also wanted the ability to use a push-button wireless remote to be able to raise the gate from inside the loading dock, which was roughly 80 yards from the new barriers.  CPC designed and installed a solution that met all of Feintool’s requirements for functionality and aesthetic.
