Racking & Safety | Food Processor

Project Scope: Storeplan was tasked with designing and installing a racking system that could accommodate a high volume of pallets, including provisions for a refrigerator unit, and ensure safe segregation of vehicles and personnel.

Solution Implemented:

Drive-In Pallet Racking:

First Run:

• Specifications: 5250mm high x 19030mm long x 6300mm deep
• Configuration: 4 pallets high (double-stacked) x 5 pallets deep x 13 lanes wide
• Capacity: 260 pallet spaces

Second Run:

• Specifications: 5250mm high x 19030mm long x 6300mm deep
• Configuration: 4 pallets high (double-stacked) x 5 pallets deep x 13 lanes wide
• Capacity: 228 pallet spaces
• Special Design: Included a provision to house a refrigerator unit set on a stand approximately 2400mm off the ground, aligned with the pallet rail level.

Verge Barrier System:

• Description: Installed several sections to ensure strong and safe segregation of vehicles and people within the facility.
• Benefits: Enhanced safety by clearly delineating pedestrian walkways and vehicle routes, reducing the risk of accidents.

Outcome:

The installation of the Schaefer I600 Drive-In Pallet Racking system provided the client with a total of 488 pallet spaces, significantly increasing storage capacity. The inclusion of the Verge Barrier System improved safety by ensuring clear segregation of vehicles and personnel. The racking system’s design also accommodated a refrigerator unit, demonstrating flexibility and customization to meet the client’s specific needs.

Conclusion:

Storeplan’s effective planning and execution provided the large food grower/processor with a robust and efficient storage solution. The project not only met the immediate storage needs but also allowed for future growth, highlighting Storeplan’s commitment to delivering high-quality, tailored solutions that support operational expansion and safety.
