Installation for a Packaging Manufacturer in Hartlepool, County Durham
Project requirements: Design, technical specifications, structural loadings, delivery, installation, and collaboration with fire protection contractors.
Project investment: £60K
Project detail: 2h Storage Solutions designed, supplied, and installed a mix of drive-in and APR pallet racking, accommodating over 1,000 pallet positions and reaching heights of more than 11 meters.
Winning this contract required 2h Storage Solutions to outperform stiff competition on both price and specifications. We utilized a combination of Polypal and Link 51 systems, sourced directly from UK factories via the Moresecure group. The system supports over 1,000 pallet positions, with racking extending just a few hundred millimeters below the roof, reaching a final height of 11,154 mm. Moreover, we integrated the latest fork lift trucks featuring advanced on-mast camera systems for added safety and efficiency.
| Capacity APR (subject to onsite survey): Capacity Drive In: Total Capacity: | 288 (based on 1000mm x 1200mm pallets); 819 (1200 x 1000mm) or 546 (1200mm x 1500mm); 1107 (1200 x 1000mm) or larger pallets in drive-in 834. |
| Maximum Beam Loading UDL per pair: | 1000kgs |
| Maximum Bay Loading: | 5000kgs |
Our team coordinated closely with the fire protection company installing the sprinkler system and with FM Global, which provided insights into the customer’s insurance specifications and criteria.
To ensure a successful installation, we used a variety of forklifts and specialized scissor lifts to access the required heights. Our skilled team of seven began the project onsite, adeptly using specialized lifting equipment to raise frames and components to over 11 meters. Additionally, we equipped the racking with advanced protective features, including steel Amco-style end barriers and ballistic-grade polymer upright protectors.
