Project Overview

Enhancing Safety and Efficiency at an Ottawa Food Facility

A leading food facility in Ottawa faced a critical winter challenge: snow accumulation on the tops of trailers. This posed significant safety risks for drivers and workers, while also reducing fuel efficiency due to added weight and drag. Additionally, snow rolling off trailers and entering the facility created a potential food safety hazard, increasing the risk of contamination in sensitive production areas.The facility needed a low-maintenance, powerless solution that could operate reliably in harsh Canadian winters.

Low-Maintenance Trailer Snow Removal System

The facility partnered with Northern Dock Systems to implement the Polar Blade, an innovative snow removal system designed for trailer tops. This solution requires no power, ensuring minimal maintenance and maximum reliability. Northern Dock Systems delivered a turnkey operation, which included the installation of concrete base blocks to provide a stable foundation for the Polar Blade system.
