The Challenge
A Durham-based storage and removal company needed a high-density storage solution for large customer boxes across a significant warehouse floor area. The business model depends on maximising the number of customer items stored per square metre — every metre of wasted aisle space directly reduces revenue. Standard mobile shelving systems were not suitable as the large heavy boxes required a heavy duty chassis system capable of handling significantly greater loads per carriage than a conventional office or archive installation.
The Solution
Rackstor UK Ltd specified and installed a large chassis heavy duty mobile shelving system purpose-built for the storage of large boxes. The heavy duty chassis uses reinforced carriage bases and heavy-gauge floor tracks designed to handle substantial loads across multiple shelf levels. The system was designed to maximise the number of carriage runs within the available warehouse space, eliminating the multiple fixed aisles that would have been required by a conventional static shelving solution.
The Result
The heavy duty chassis mobile shelving system transformed the warehouse's storage capacity. The storage and removal company can now accommodate significantly more customer items in the same floor area — directly increasing revenue per square metre and improving the commercial viability of the facility.
