Turnkey Storage Solutions for Supply Chain Specialists

Over the last 20 plus years the growth of the 3PL sector coinciding with the Internet boom has led to Avanta UK working very closely with leading companies in this sector.

We have worked with companies from their very first warehouse to largescale multi-national operators who are constantly requiring more space.

The main focus of recent 3PL projects has been increasing storage capacity of pallets, boxes, garments, packets and individual SKU’s. Examples include: -

Standard Wide Aisle Pallet Racking

Pallet racking is a system of warehouse storage. It uses racks to enable pallets, on which goods and materials are stored, to be stacked vertically and horizontally for efficient use of space. Typically forklift trucks are used to move pallets on and off racking within a warehouse, with a number of systems available to meet different requirements that allow pallets to be stored and accessed for picking and processing as efficiently as possible.

Standard pallet racking frames and beams organised into a wide aisle configuration for a Reach Trucks to deposit and retrieve pallets.

Narrow Aisle Racking

With significantly narrower aisles than other racking types, along with specialist forklift trucks, this system provides high density storage with full pallet access.

Avanta British manufactured Narrow Aisle Racking also maximises the height at which goods can be stacked. This combination of full height and tightly placed rows makes excellent use of the available floor space within a facility.

Narrow aisle racking works well on a good quality smooth warehouse floor that is on a solid substrate to withstand heavy traffic.

Drive In & Drive Through Racking

Offering multiple layers of racks without aisles, pallets are deposited and retrieved by forklifts driving into or through the row of racks, significantly increasing usable storage space.

Drive in racking is designed to provide a high density storage solution by enabling pallets to be stored in a several deep configuration on a rack. Pallets are stored on guide rails which span the depth of the racking, and forklift trucks enter these storage lanes to deposit or retrieve loads.

Mezzanine Floors

Using the cubic space that 3PL companies often have is a great way of increasing the storage capacity when integrated with various shelving systems offered by Avanta UK.
