Maximising space
November 1st 2005

Planned Storage Systems (PSS) has helped catering equipment company, Nisbets, to maximise space in its new facility.

PSS designed, supplied and installed a VNA racking system for the company’s Avonmouth premises. It had first of all to remove an existing lightweight welded frame VNA racking system, from, a 2200m2 area and replace it with PSS Stronglock that has bolted construction and enables a cost effective maintenance programme to be operated to deal with any repairs throughout the life of the structure.

In the first phase of the project, PSS installed up to 13.5m high racking into the non-racked areas of the warehouse.

Savings were made by re-using existing guide rails.

P&D stations installed at one end of each row increase the throughput speed on the narrow aisle truck, allowing it to pick up the pallet from a precise position time after time and, thereby reducing the pick up/deposit cycle.
