Reloskate is a brand-new company, set up by racking experts PD Industrial after recognising the need for a faster turn-around on jobs involving moving and reordering racking and shelving.

The firm, based in Four Ashes near Wolverhampton, is supplying unique wheeled trollies – or ‘skates’ – which attach to racking and shelving, allowing it to be easily moved around.

From remodelling, to optimising space, preparing for seasonal stock changes or creating a more efficient workflow in warehouses or retail space, the unique fixtures can be used to quickly and efficiently move racking and gondolas.

Currently, a warehouse reorganisation can mean serious downtime whilst racking is emptied and dismantled in order to be relocated, to then be rebuilt and restocked. It requires lots of manpower and can be extremely costly in terms of the disruption it causes to normal operation.

The new ‘skates’ have a unique rack and pinion mechanism that allows them to be attached to racking and gondolas to lift them, allowing them to then be wheeled into the desired position without dismantling, dramatically slashing the downtime and manpower needed for the reorganisation. In most cases, racking can be moved with sprinkler pipes attached, and gondolas need not be emptied prior to moving.

MOBEX Inc has patented the skates and been using the fixtures in America for eight years, where they have helped revolutionise operations in the racking industry.

Reloskate has secured the exclusive Europe-wide license to be a MOBEX Inc distributor, and is now ready to make a similar impact here, according to director, Darren Hardiman.

“The new service will prove invaluable to a range of industries relying on racking and shelving for storage and sales, from supermarkets who regularly reorganise their shelving units, to making industrial-scale warehouse racking work more efficiently, the fixtures have so many applications.

“They are easy to use and reliable, and available with flexible rental terms. What’s more, if required, we can offer our own trained and experienced team to carry out the whole project, using SEMA guidelines.

“We’ve modified the MOBEX design to tailor it specifically to the European marketplace, ensuring it is compatible and complies with relevant health and safety standards.

“With years’ of experience in the racking industry, we know the disruption reorganisation causes, and the costs this incurs in time of operational downtime. The new service will deliver turnarounds in a fraction of the time, cutting this downtime by up to 70%, and bringing huge savings for companies.”
