Perfect for parts storage

Rail freight company, DB Schenker, has upgraded storage of repairable engineering parts for locomotives at its parts distribution centre near Nottingham with a mezzanine floor, associated storage and materials handling equipment from Pro-Dek Storage Systems.

The Parts Centre acts as the main warehouse for the company’s traction maintenance depots throughout the UK, including pre-used components and sub-assemblies that are repairable. Some 3250 used parts are on site at any one time awaiting repair, and these were previously stored outside the warehouse without weather protection.

The Pro-Dek mezzanine has created 133m² of additional storage space within the warehouse, allowing the used items to be stored securely and without reducing usable space on the ground floor. On the mezzanine floor Pro-Dek has installed an adjustable steel shelving system with dividers so that components can be managed efficiently before being sent for repair.
