Large Pallet Racking Project For Polyco Healthline

Avanta UK Ltd have completed their 4^th large pallet racking project for a leading provider of hygienic protective equipment – Polyco Healthline.

This is the 4^th project of this type completed by Avanta for Polyco in the last 5 years, highlighting their growth over this period and the need for capacity for future expansion.

Wayne Thomas (Project Sales, Avanta UK) has worked closely with the client over the last 20 years, providing all the pallet racking and mezzanine floors to 8 warehouses all built by the client based on the same site in Bourne, Lincolnshire.

Polyco Healthline handle over 5000 shipping containers and 3 billion disposable gloves per annum with 200 staff servicing 3500 distributors in 38 Countries. This gives an indication of the scale of the operation prior to this project. Existing pallet position count within the warehouses stood at 32,000.

For the new warehouse, the Avanta Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking design realized and additional pallet positions taking the Polyco total to circa 37,000.

The pre-galvanised warehouse racking frames are a combination of 9m and 10m in height without the need for splicing to aid rigidity and enhance the speed of build. Contrasting 2 and 3 tonne capacity beams compliment the look and feel of the project.

The project was completed with 53 rack end steel barriers in a high visibility colour along with rack load notices as standard. The client labelled their own racks.

The works were completed to the estimated lead-time and budget.
