Tesco approached Rack Armour Ltd for a solution to their ever increasing racking damage, with over 290 forklifts and lollops operating at one time, damage was an inevitable occurrence, and with the average cost of a racking leg replacement at £400.00 per upright, effective protection couldn’t come soon enough.
“The New Daventry Grocery Depot distributes to all UK stores explains Simon Harris, Project Manager at Tesco, “with over 5 million pallet movements each month at this one site, racking damage does occur, which is detrimental to the warehouse operation”
“To help us to reduce & prevent racking damage within our operation, Tesco trialled a number of racking protection, the trial identified that the Rack Armour product was robust and easy to install, as well as a cost effective solution to reduce racking damage”.
“We have now had the guards installed on over 6500 uprights for more than a week, and we have already seen a dramatic reduction in racking damage, I would whole heartedly recommend this product to other’s looking for a solution that not only works, but is clearly the most cost effective product available.”
Tesco trialed other racking protection, including the latest products on the market to find the best solution for them, and in the end Rack Armour was the obvious choice for quality, cost, and having the most established product in the market.
Tesco’s is another blue chip company to be added to Rack Armour’s illustrious list, and they are in good company, with the likes of, IKEA, DHL, Mercedes Benz, Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Toyota, Superdrug, Pound land, ASDA, Coca Cola, Nestle and B&Q whom have all had the guards installed for years.
“Every customer has different wants and needs from the Rack Armour guard” says Jenny Charlton, Director of Rack Armour “one customer will rave about the guard being able to work in conditions as low as -40 degrees, whilst another is impressed that it fits all types of racking and is inter transferable between different racking systems, it has countless benefits!”
