New pallet racking installation

A leading supplier specialising in the purchasing, processing, and sale of nickel and cobalt-based alloys for re-melting applications, required a robust and efficient pallet racking solution for their new 60,000 sq ft warehouse space in South Yorkshire. The company needed a heavy-duty storage system capable of handling large, weighty stock while ensuring maximum safety and ease of access for their operations team.

Project Scope

They contacted Secondhandracking.com to design, supply, deliver, and install the new adjustable racking system. As one of the UK’s largest stockists of new and used pallet racking, we were perfectly placed to deliver a flexible and cost-effective setup.

Solution

The project involved the installation of high-capacity pallet racking to accommodate heavy goods, improve stock organisation, and increase overall warehouse efficiency.

The scope of works included the supply and installation of four back-to-back runs of pallet racking, each fifteen bays long, and one additional back-to-back run of five bays. Beam levels were set at 1425mm clear spacing, with four beam levels plus the ground, creating a total of five storage levels.

The frames were built to 5850mm high and 1100mm deep, with 2700mm beams designed to carry 2,000kg per level.

To ensure durability and safety, Protect-It XL rack protection guards were fitted every frame upright to guard against forklift impact and maintain system integrity.

The Results

Optimised Storage Capacity – The new system maximises warehouse floor space by creating multiple levels of secure pallet storage.
Heavy-Duty Strength – Each beam level supports up to 2,000kg, ensuring even the heaviest stock can be stored safely.
Improved Safety – Upright protection throughout the installation reduces the risk of damage, ensuring long-term durability and safety for staff and equipment.
Future-Proofed Design – The modular layout allows Select Alloys & Materials to expand or adapt their storage as business needs evolve.

The completed installation has provided the client with a high-capacity, safe, and efficient storage solution tailored to their operational needs. The system has transformed the warehouse into a more organised and productive environment, enabling smoother operations and supporting the company’s growth.

The team at secondhandracking.com delivered the project on time and to specification, helping our client unlock the full potential of their warehouse space.
