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 More articles from LINPAC Storage Systems Limited: |
