Floors in logistics centres experience heavy traffic from machinery moving high-tonnage loads. The importance of maintaining product quality makes it necessary to install safe, effective flooring.
This is an industry subject to the continuous movement of goods throughout the year. This requires a type of flooring that does not generate dust and is slip-resistant and hard-wearing.
Essential characteristics of flooring in the logistics industry
The most important properties of flooring for the logistics sector are as follows:
Hygiene
The flooring must be easy to clean and maintain, as well as being kept disinfected at all times in readiness for possible inspections.
Slip resistance
Given the large quantities of liquids and other substances that spill onto the floor, it is essential that the flooring is slip-resistant to prevent accidents.
Mechanical resistance
The floor must withstand the transport of loads, as well as heavy machinery and vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Durability
Due to the activities carried out in these facilities, it is vital that the flooring demonstrates durability.
Quick installation
These floors require quick on-site installation without affecting other areas.
Regulatory compliance
Flooring must comply with all quality standards and have the corresponding certificates to avoid penalties and the risk of workplace accidents involving employees.
Common flooring problems in the logistics sector
Some of the most common flooring problems in the logistics sector are as follows:
Safety problems
Industrial flooring in poor condition exposes employees to workplace accidents. In addition to the risk to their health, this entails productivity losses and financial costs for the company.
Harbouring viruses, fungi and germs
Worn and cracked flooring in logistics facilities accumulates pathogens, which can lead to non-compliance with health and food safety regulations.
Floor damage
The enormous tonnage of the goods being moved or objects falling from a great height can cause subsidence or cracks in the floor.
Tyre marks and grease
In the logistics industry, the use of powered machinery to transport, push, pull or lift loads, such as forklift trucks or pallet trucks, is quite common. These can leave tyre marks on the floor, which, combined with spills of grease, oils or acids, can damage the floor very quickly.
