Second mezzanine brought into use
December 1st 2004

Bringing a second mezzanine into operation and improving health and safety standards, European Conveyor Systems has completed phase two of a large scale materials handling system at the 25,000m2 main warehouse of Cromwell Industrial Supplies.

The extension is based on the Gebhardt series 300 system, with a high proportion of the equipment being zero line pressure accumulation conveyors to maximise the number of bins that it can accommodate without crushing.

The top floor has three picking zones, each with its own picking station. An automatic lowerator provides safe controlled handling in less space than is required by a conveyor, taking bins to the lower floors. Height checks and weight check stations have also been installed on the system.
