Extended capacity without building
August 1st 2007 External cantilever racking
with weather protection
installed by Pro-Dek Storage
Systems has provided
additional cost-effective
storage capacity without
building work for specialist
materials stockholder
Righton. Altogether, three
sections of single-sided
racking, 4.5m high and
totalling 75m in length,
have been installed at the
site.
All of them have plasticcoated
steel profile roofs
that are 1800mm deep and
extend 800mm beyond the
racking arms. Tarpaulin
curtains on the fronts and
sides, divided into sections
for easy access, run in tracks
at the top and bottom, with
adjustable elastic straps
keeping them taut. The
curtaining and roofs are
finished in Righton's
corporate colours.
Racking columns are at
1200mm centres, and
materials are stored on
1000mm-long arms
individually rated to support
a uniformly distributed load
of 750kg. The arms are
bolted to the columns,
which provides very secure
fixing while allowing
adjustment in 150mm
increments to suit products
of different types and
dimensions. More articles from Pro-Dek Storage Systems: |
