Space efficiency maximised
September 1st 2006

A new racking installation completed by Pro-Dek Storage Systems has increased storage volumes and picking efficiency at a 500m2 warehouse operated by plastic building products distributor, Plaslyne.

Completed on a two-week fast track schedule, the installation was designed to accommodate a wide variety of pallets and stillages efficiently, while ensuring popular lines could be accesssed quickly.

The warehouse can now accommodate around 650 stillages of three different types on cantilever racking, 450 pallets on beam-type racking and 200 stillages block-stacked.

The new racking has given a seperate location for each stillage and pallet, identifiable on the warehouse computer and easy for staff to find. The most commonly ordered products are nearest the floor, and stillages can be replaced quickly when empty.
