Two-tier storage solution
April 1st 2009 Rapid Racking has
completed the installation of
a major two-tier shelving
system for docdata in
Witney, Oxfordshire.
docdata provides fully
integrated logistics and
distribution in the ecommerce
sector.
As a result of growth in
the e-fulfilment sector,
docdata approached Rapid
Racking to transform its new
extra 50,000 sq ft
warehouse space by
providing a space efficient
storage system which
allowed for easy access.
Rapid Racking suggested a
two-tier system as an
economical way of making
full use of the building
height. This is achieved by
fitting suspended walkways
and staircases to access the
upper shelf levels. In
docdata's case it is
accompanied by an
adjoining mezzanine floor
which provides a first floor
marshalling area and gives
access via a pallet loading
gate and goods lift.
The system was designed
to cover a floor area of
nearly 9,000 ftÇ to be
installed in two phases. It
initially provides 800 shelf
levels, each with a loading
capacity of 350 kg. Phase
two could double this, but
there is a planned option to
fit it out with garment
hanging rails, More articles from Rapid Racking Ltd: |
