One of Scotland’s leading distilleries has transformed the capacity and efficiency of its finished goods warehouse thanks to a shuttle racking solution which delivered a 242% increase in capacity.
The client had originally enquired about installing a mezzanine floor to create additional capacity to their current position of 800 pallet positions.
With significant growth plans in place, the client was keen to Max the Cube both in terms of capacity and operational efficiencies and with a relatively low number of SKUs, Thistle Systems proposed their Maxi Cube Shuttle Racking solution.
The finished solution achieved a total of 2736 pallet positions, a staggering 242% increase in capacity on their original capacity within the same 1300 square metre facility.
The pallets were accessible via 228 picking locations which were designed to store either 12 CHEP pallets deep or 15 Euro pallets deep – with the facility to store both types of pallets in the same lane.
