Future-proofed

When Gloucester-based Downton consolidated three facilities into one site, the storage and distribution company turned to Jungheinrich's Systems and Project Division to provide a racking scheme that not only meets the present requirements but is future-proofed to cope with any change in the nature of the goods stored at the facility.

With an 11m high top beam level, the racking provides 12,600 pallet locations on four beam levels (plus floor level) and pallets are double stacked to reduce the number of beams required. Loads of up to 2.5t can safely be stored at each pallet location.
