Bespoke system

Siemens Industry Automation and Drive Technologies (formerly Automation and Drives) has tasked The Storage Equipment Centre (SEC) to design, supply and install the storage system at its new 50,000ft2 facility in Leeds.

The bespoke solution features a racking system with low level picking and high level pallet storage to a height of 9.6m. A second area includes heavy duty pallet racking with a loading of 3732kg per level. SEC worked closely with Siemens' incumbent forklift supplier to ensure the solution is fully compatible with existing materials handling equipment, including an articulated and a heavy duty counterbalanced forklift.
