If you currently have a pallet racking system and are looking to provide a boost to your business operations through some improvements, some products will help to maximise your warehouse efficiency, organisation and density for storage.
Extra Storage
For many businesses, the start of Spring sees a hike in busy activity and some products tend to get larger due to the upcoming holiday season of summer on the horizon.
This is where your pallet racking can suddenly become overloaded with a mixture of various sized products struggling to find the right amount of space, leaving some items hanging over your aisle entrances and exits.
By switching smaller stock away from your pallet racking and into a section filled with commercial shelving Manchester, you can make good use of the excess space for the larger bulk items whilst smaller pick items are conveniently stored in a separate section for easy picking.
Safety Barriers
Safety barriers are an important addition to your warehouse operations at any time of the year, but during the busiest periods, they are key to preventing a lot more accidents and injuries from occurring during the seasonal rush.
Training when it comes to elevated safety during the busy period and ensuring that all staff know of extra security and safety measures when working in the warehouse always needs a seasonal refresher, not just for new starters but also for experienced workers.
Mezzanine Floors
Extra warehouse space and organization can be achieved through the implementation of mezzanine flooring, especially if you require a lot more room and don’t want to shift your entire operation into a bigger complex.
Having an expert installer measure your warehouse dimensions and requirements ensures that no mistakes are made and every avenue to accentuate your space is taken into account.
Regular Inspection
Ensuring that your warehouse pallet racking system is operating safely is vitally important, and requires regular safety inspections – not just after an incident has taken place.
Under current legislation, inspections of racking systems should be undertaken by a technically competent individual every 12 months to ascertain if any risks are present and need fixing or replacing. This type of inspection not only assesses where the identifiable damage is, but where potential future hazards will present themselves.
