Nimlok - Drive In Racking

We recently completed the installation of an external drive-in pallet racking system for a show stand manufacturer, designed to streamline their logistics and storage operations. The system allows the client to store and check goods on pallets efficiently upon arrival, prior to transferring them into their main warehouse for final distribution to the relevant locations.

This solution provides the manufacturer with:

Increased storage capacity in a compact footprint
Improved goods-in process, allowing for thorough checking and staging
Enhanced workflow between external storage and internal distribution areas

The Challenge

The project presented several challenges, including an uneven tarmacked floor that required accurate levelling, the need for a system capable of withstanding external weather conditions, and a tight installation window to avoid disruption during the client’s peak operational period.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Storage Concepts installed galvanised silver racking to ensure long-term protection against rust and weather exposure, and used precision shimming to level the system and guarantee pallet safety. The installation was carefully scheduled during the quieter summer months, allowing the project to be completed efficiently before the return of stock from shows, ensuring a seamless transition into full use.
