Non-Pallet Storage, Sydney

The 2000m2 warehouse was a completely new facility for Linde Refrigeration in Sydney, a manufacturer of freezer and chiller showcases for supermarkets and small stores.

1. A Cabinet Decision by Linde

CUSTOMER: Linde Refrigeration
LOCATION: Sydney, New South Wales
BACKGROUND: The 2000m2 warehouse was a completely new facility for Linde Refrigeration in Sydney, a manufacturer of freezer and chiller showcases for supermarkets and small stores.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: The racking needed to be designed to allow the cabinets to be put away and accessed by a special Linde Forklift, without any damage whatsoever.The forklift is custom-fitted with a special lifting attachment and a mast capable of extending to 8m. Each rack bay needed to be sized and designed to carry loads of up to 2000kg.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Linde Refrigeration gave storage ideas a specific brief of requirements for storing refrigeration cabinets, based on their experience throughout the world. The company needed to maximise the available space and use all airspace in its 8m high warehouse.

2. Our Storage Solution

Storage Ideas designed the warehouse layout to maximise storage while allowing easy forklift access to every bay. The application of both Selective and Double-Deep Racking in a three-story configuration provided Linde with the necessary storage capacity.

The precise clearances aided by custom-made fork spacer bars, alleviates damage to the load during operation.

3. Customer Benefits

Linde Refrigeration is very happy with its new world-class storage facility.
