Configured for maximum storage February 1st 2006 Floorcovering supplier, The Headlam Group, has invested in a storage and sortation system from Linpac Storage Systems for its new warehouse and distribution centre in Tamworth.
Linpac has installed both carpet and vinyl racking together with a section of narrow aisle racking for palletised goods. Serviced by wire guided trucks, the narrow aisle storage has a top beam 10m high. Pick and deposit stations facilitate the efficient handling of pallets into and out of the storage system, and the addition of pallet support bars means that both Euro and standard pallets can be accommodated.
Carpets and vinyls are densely stored from floor to ceiling in the versatile racking, which has been precisely configured to maximise the storage area.
Two metre high standing areas have been incorporated in the design, together with drive through bays for the forklifts that deliver the products to the cutting table.
Once the product has been cut to the desired length, it goes through a sortation system to the correct location for dispatch, where it is placed on an appropriately sized shelf.
