Cost-effective weather-proof, racking
March 1st 2007 Specialist materials stockholder, Righton has gained additional costeffective storage capacity without the need for building work, thanks to an external cantilever racking system with weather protection installed by Pro-Dek Storage Systems. Existing warehouses on Righton's site in Birmingham, where customers' orders are picked, were already full to capacity with its expanding range of products. The external racking structures with roofs and tarpaulin curtains installed by Pro- Dek have protected the products and given each one a separate specific location, increasing picking efficiency. Altogether, three sections of single-sided racking, 4.5 metres high and totalling 75 metres in length, have been installed. All of them have plastic-coated steel profile roofs that are 1800mm deep and extend 800mm beyond the racking arms. Tarpaulin curtains on the fronts and sides, divided into sections for easy access, run in tracks at the top and bottom, with adjustable elastic straps keeping them taut. The curtaining and roofs are finished in Righton's corporate colours More articles from Pro-Dek Storage Systems: |
