December 1st 2007 Pallet and cantilever racking
systems designed and
installed by Pro-Dek Storage
Systems have provided
Yorkshire Stainless with highdensity
storage facilities at a
new warehouse in
Rotherham. The 1100m2
warehouse was needed to
provide extra storage
capacity to cope with
increasing demand and free
space in the main production
unit. Fittings are delivered to
the company in timber boxes
typically measuring 1200mm
wide x 1000mm deep x
900mm high and weighing
up to 1.25 tonnes. The Pro-
Dek pallet racking has been
designed to provide 420
locations for these products.
It is six metres high and has
been installed in a singlesided
run measuring 47.5m
and a double-sided run
measuring 30.5m, both
having five or six storage
levels. Over 220 linear
metres of cantilever racking,
6.5m high and with seven
storage levels, have been
installed to stock pipe in
lengths up to six metres,
either in timber boxes or
unboxed. Full boxes weigh
up to 1500kg. The racking
arms, which are individually
rated to carry 750kg, are
1000mm long and have end
stops and rubber pads to
protect the unboxed
products. The installation,
including floor-fixed
guidance rails for the
Sidetracker narrow-aisle
truck, was completed on
schedule in three weeks. More articles from Pro-Dek Storage Systems: |
