This is a short clip about a selection of work undertaken by us where you can see………:


Shelving - Constructed to enable an otherwise dead space in an area of

low headroom steel roof trusses to be used for storage.


The 3 c’s - There are many ways to cut costs – thankfully we are aware of most of them and make sure such deployment occurs by request and not as a means of unwelcome short cuts to save money at your cost.


Steps - Notice the handrail folds down to allow for obstructed headroom and

folds up to access the safety platform, automatically protecting the operator at

height. You won’t find this device on our website which is why we think our

site surveys are so important and then construction is sympathetic to the

application.


A lift - This lifting device was specially constructed as a low cost means of

loading conveyor into the back of a lorry to speed up off loading in a very

confined space.


2 Tier - Two tier pallet racking handles up to 5 tonnes (or more) a square

metre and allows you to use the full cubic potential of your building. This

compares to a mezzanine floor which in standard format will take half a

tonne. It is certainly not 10 times more expensive and so makes a very cost

effective option.


Construction - The construction of the floor can be clearly seen. Hot rolled mill sections with cheaper inset cold rolled sections completing the frame work onto which a timber floor is laid. By insetting in this manner the demand on headroom is considerably reduced over other methods, making it both strong and operationally economical to use.


Conveyors - This job came out of the necessity to focus on productivity and distribution. The packs are awkward to handle and there was a need to cut out complicated programming by substituting it with simpler mechanical devices – it paid off.


Storage in bulk - There are many ways to bulk store and process work. Two

metre wide aisles are about as narrow as you can go before very narrow aisle

storage is the only option – this is an area of specialization for us and the

example allows manual and mechanical picks to safely proceed together.


Narrow aisle trucks - According to the experts 24 to 30 cycles per hour is

what can be achieved with this amazing machine - that represents 120 tonnes

or 85 cubic metres of materials moved, or put another way 2 to 4 heavy

goods vehicles of stock – just incase 30 cycles didn’t sound very much! With

articulated trucks, as you can see in this clip, huge space savings are

achievable and there are a variety of very fast pick options to explore.


A dock solution, a jetty conversion - We had 4 loading docks but needed another 3 cheaply and quickly – conventional construction has a door onto which the lorry backs and then a leveler to bridge the gap. This system uses dock plates but leaves big gaps at the side – an accident waiting to happen. Look at the way the gates open and lock to contain and guide equipment and also provide a barrier to allow safe passage with “right to the back” filling for the trailer. All the rails lift out so any damage is cheap to repair. The whole jetty is weather proofed with a steel framed PVC clad building – cheap, flexible and quick to erect.


Cranes in actions - These are not just cranes - they were the result of a 40 hour study and 38 years of experience that removed 35% off the starting budget for 2 x 5 tonne cranes, a 16 tonne and a 10 tonne overhead electric travelling crane which included all the latest electrical gadgets to make repair and operations very reasonably priced. They are locally serviced and supported and made in Spain.


Two Tier lite shelving system - This is another Spanish product serviced by a leading UK stockist with whom we have a close and longstanding working relationship. It is fast to build, cheap and fully compliant with UK building regulations – It is manufactured from shelving components and simply clips together. It was a welcome alternative for a fast response to a customer’s new business opportunity – now rapidly growing.


Quarantining - when you need to lock it up or keep it separate from the rest of your stock, here is how we do it.
