Racking takes the biscuit to new heights
April 1st 2010

Linpac Storage Systems has recently completed one of its highest ever VNA racking solutions at the 310,000m2 Midland Distribution Centre (MDC) of United Biscuits, situated in Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

With 18.6m high frames, pallets stored 12 high and run lengths of 100m, the installation has enabled United Biscuits to store an extra 5000 pallets in one area of the MDC.

This was achieved by changing the storage technology to maximise the cube right up to roof height, making it one of the tallest distribution centres in the UK. The top beam is at 15,500mm with the top pallet at 18,500mm.

The new system replaces a typical wide aisle racking configuration
