Custom Fabrication Projects Every Supermarket Must Consider

August 22, 2019

Running the day-to-day operation of a supermarket is hard work, as owners and managers have a lot to worry about. The most important consideration in the running of daily operations of a supermarket is the safety of customers, employees, and securing property, in this regard, there are necessary custom fabrication projects to conduct, such as installing trolley bays, handrails, and guard rails, to mention a few.

From the moment shoppers drive into the parking area of a supermarket, park their vehicles, walk up any steps or slope to the entrance of the store, and then select a shopping trolley, there are many hazards or accidents that could occur along the way, especially if the management has not taken proper safety precautions.

Here are some of the custom fabrication projects every supermarket must consider to create a safer and more secure environment for shoppers:

Custom shopping trolley bays – installing shopping trolley bays in the parking area of supermarkets helps control and pen trolleys by preventing them from getting loose and hitting vehicles or causing accidents. And, trolley bays make it easier for customers to return trolleys after they have loaded their vehicle with groceries.

Guard rails – supermarkets can also benefit from customised guard rails, as they are effective barriers that can provide security around checkout areas to help regulate foot traffic, and to prevent shopping trolleys from entering areas that are designated off limits. Guard rails strategically placed in parking lots can also help to reduce and prevent accidents, as they protect pedestrians and property from cars.

Custom handrails – depending on the foot route from the parking area to the entrance of the supermarket, customers may have to traverse stairs or slopes. Installing stainless steel handrails can help prevent slips and falls, so that when people need to balance themselves on their way to the entrance of the supermarket they will have something to hold onto.

There are other custom fabrication items every supermarket can benefit from, below is a modest list of some of them:

Stainless steel shop counters – shop counters can be custom designed and fabricated to fit their function, such as check-out counters.

Fabricate tables – tables are ideal for setting-up supermarket displays, or for backroom break areas for employees to use during breaks.

Security cages and barriers – fabricated to meet special needs, security cages and barriers are the perfect solution to secure valuable products where a key is needed to unlock access to them, and to protect outdoor pipes and machinery.
