Archive shelving solution installed
June 1st 2007 LINPAC Storage Systems has
installed a complete archive
shelving solution for CSM
Archive Storage and
Distribution's purpose built
warehouse. On the ground
floor of the archive facility,
the Longspan shelving is
configured to give three
decks of shelving with a total
height capacity of seven
boxes. An integral stairway
leads to the top tier which
provides up to four decks of
storage, or twelve boxes, by
using the entire space up to
the apex of the roof.
Every box has its own
separate identification,
location and customer codes.
The positioning of each box
is computer controlled and
all of the picking is done by
hand. Open steel mesh
flooring has been used on
the top tier to make picking
conditions much brighter on
the ground floor. A loading
door into the building gives
access for fork lift trucks to
deliver pallet loads of boxes
to either the ground floor or,
by means of a pallet gate,
straight into the top tier of
the warehouse. "LINPAC's
design enabled us to include
more data boxes in the
archive store than the other
tenders; they beat the
competition by around 1,000
boxes," says Lee Harris,
archive manager for CSM.
"Their communication with
us was very good too. They
kept in touch while the
building was going up and
made several site visits to
check the finer details." More articles from Linpac Storage Systems Limited: |
