Pallet rack safety screens July 1st 2007 Troax has supplied extensive runs
of Anti-Collapse, pallet rack safety
screens to fashion retailer River
Island's European distribution
centre in Milton Keynes.
A total of 19 all-welded mesh
safety screens, each measuring up
to 68m in length have been
installed along the rear of the
upper levels of pallet racking in the
warehouse. The mesh screens
prevent accidents occurring when
pallets are being handled, catching
items if they become dislodged
and stopping them from falling and
injuring staff working in the aisles.
This is particularly important in this
busy picking area of the
warehouse as it incorporates a new
pallet rack layout, designed to
allow manual picking and fork-lift
truck picking to be carried out
simultaneously 24 hours a day.
Each row of pallet racking has a
single entry aisle alongside for
either manual pickers working in
the lower levels on one side or
fork-lift truck access on the other.
The screens were installed by
Stodec. More articles from Troax (UK) Limited: |
