Taking stock of retail storage
December 1st 2006 With a comprehensive range, racking and shelving systems supplier LINPAC Storage Systems is well placed to serve the retail sector LINPAC Storage Systems has a complete product offering that extends from simple adjustable pallet racking and shelving systems through to the most sophisticated mobile storage, garment hanging and high bay installations. Shelving Linshelf shelving is already a well established range as a single tier system in stockrooms throughout the country. Its fully bolted modular construction combines lightweight with strength. The two tier version was developed in response to an increasing demand for retail space utilisation, it features an integral rack supported walkway to provide cost effective storage that maximises available height. Its modular construction makes it simple to adjust to meet specific stock storage demands. For companies that already own the original single tier Linshelf storage, the additional tier can be quickly and easily mounted on top of their existing solution. Linspace is an adjustable, boltless and braceless shelving system that is both highly adaptable and immensely strong. It is suitable for use as either a simple bay of shelving or a completely integrated modular system. The strong upright is pierced in 50mm increments on all four sides allowing bays to be added in any direction – to either side, back and even vertically – with fine shelf adjustment to maximise cubic storage capacity. The inherent strength of the system eliminates the need for cross bracing and therefore Linspace is accessible from both sides – often an important consideration in tight stockrooms. LINPAC's Longspan shelving is designed for heavier duty applications making it ideal for multi-level storage. With seven standard beam sections and a range of shelving options, Longspan racking caters for a wide range of loadings. The shelving is strong, safe and being modular, supremely versatile. Racking When it comes to designing pallet racking and garment hanging for retail warehouses LINPAC is in a class of its own. The company's pallet racking is manufactured using the latest techniques in its own UK facility. The beams are designed to lock into the uprights using an 'interference' fit which increases the overall strength and rigidity of the structure as weight is added. With a wide choice of upright heights and beam lengths the racking is highly adaptable and universally accepted as the standard for the industry. Nothing stands still in the fashion business and this fast pace of change has been a key driver in the development of LINPAC's garment storage and handling systems. The systems are designed so that customers can change them to accommodate different sizes and shapes of garment, season by season as necessary, for maximum cost efficiency. There is a comprehensive selection of future-proofed solutions from basic low level up to bespoke multi-tier integrated systems. Customers can choose either adjustable cantilever or adjustable bay solutions to store any combination of hanging, flat packed or boxed garments. All of LINPAC's garment storage systems and accessories are fully compatible with transport rail and handling schemes. LINPAC Storage Systems already services a wide customer base in the retail sector from small companies to multi-nationals such as Argos, Woolworths, TK Maxx, and Ted Baker. With design, manufacturing and management all situated at the company's Milton Keynes headquarters, LINPAC's central location means that it can respond rapidly to its customers' storage requests. To appreciate the quality and diversity of its product range, the company encourages clients and potential customers to view its manufacturing facilities and product showroom at Milton Keynes. Such visits also help to build a strong working relationship which enables LINPAC to provide a truly world class service to its customers.
