Shelving and Pallet Racking, Rosebery, Sydney
Continuous growth and the need to maintain high service levels encouraged a corporate office supplies specialist to refurbish their existing building rather than relocate to a new facility.
1. Rapid Response to customer’s warehouse needs
| CUSTOMER: | Major Office Stationery Supplier |
| LOCATION: | Rosebery, Sydney, New South Wales |
| BACKGROUND: | Continuous growth and the need to maintain high service levels encouraged a corporate office supplies specialist to refurbish their existing building rather than relocate to a new facility. |
| SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: | OH&S issues were very important to the customer and provision was made for clearly marked pedestrian walkways throughout the racking system. The racking was also designed to fit around existing fire doors. Installation was completed within a critical timeline. |
| STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: | The company’s brief to Storage Ideas was to optimise the number of storage locations, whilst improving order picking performance. |
2. Our Storage Solution
The new Colby Selective Pallet Racking extends 6m high to give five levels of pallet storage, where previously there had been wasted space at the top of the building. Storage Ideas’ modular shelving was also utilised to double the capacity of the customer’s special form storage.
A decline conveyor was installed to bring product from an adjoining higher location to the packing area in the No. 2 Warehouse. The storage capacity was increased by 150% to 2800 pallet positions in an area no greater than 4000m2.
3. Customer Benefits
The increased capacity has delayed the investment of a new building and has improved the overall efficiency of the warehouse operation. This, combined with extra ground floor pallet positions providing more dedicated and accessible pick faces, has resulted in reduced order picking cycle times.
