Remodelling and Relocation Solution “Saves Time and Cost”

Adjustable Pallet Racking (APR) and sprinkler systems “can now be extended, remodelled and relocated within a warehouse or distribution centre environment in significantly less time and at a fraction of the cost than was previously thought”. That’s according to Narrow Aisle Ltd, who are promoting rack reconfiguration technology available from Flexi Warehouse Systems – the company’s warehouse planning and design consultancy services division.

Traditionally, moving racking runs to enable the width of the aisles within a logistics centre to be narrowed or, indeed, widened, has been a labour-intensive process that, in most cases, involves the dismantling and rebuilding of the existing racking system, often resulting in material damage and project delays.

Flexi Warehouse Systems’ new method claims to reduce the time wasted relocating pallet racks, “minimising operational disruption and reducing the nett cost by over 50% compared to traditional methods”.

In simple terms, the technology – which has been successfully deployed across hundreds of sites in the United States – allows racking runs to be quickly and safely transported to the required location within the store where, once the structure has been positioned and secured to the floor, it is immediately ready to be restocked.

Flexi Warehouse Systems provides a guaranteed fixed price, timescale and detailed project plan for each relocation scheme it undertakes.

A range of funding packages – to finance both racking expansion projects and the necessary upgrades to a company’s materials handling equipment – are available from Flexi Warehouse Systems.
