Company Background
DHL Canton Lane had a need to increase their pallet storage quantity due to the introduction of multiple new customers at their Canton Lane site, and to continue their operation for existing contracts, the project needed to be completed with minimal or no disruption to the daily operation of the site. Their existing racking layout and beam pitches were not optimised for future MHE and pallet sizes, but DHL wanted to re-use as many existing components on site.
Project Background
DHL approached NSI to re-design their existing layout to meet their required pallet count. The NSI project team planned to narrow existing aisles (to meet requirements for their MHE/forklifts), add additional beam levels to exiting bays (all engineered/ designed checked with manufacturers before we quoted), add timber decks to hold varying pallet dimensions (design checked to support pallets between the beams- called a point load), and turn existing single rack runs into back to back’s. With the newly created space, NSI installed multiple new pallet racking runs with aisle end barriers and column guards to add additional pallet storage locations. All the dilapidations and install were safety sequences around DHLs ongoing operation.
Projective Objective
Upon completion of the installation, a thorough quality control check was conducted. This involved assessing the stability of the pallet racking system, checking for any potential hazards, and ensuring that each component met the specified load-bearing requirements. Rigorous testing was performed to validate the system’s ability to withstand the demands of a dynamic warehouse environment.
The successful pallet racking installation significantly enhanced the warehouse’s storage capacity and retrieval efficiency. The tailored solution not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations, leading to a high level of satisfaction.
