You may not realise it, but your racking plays a critical role towards helping your business run profitably. The right storage can help you make the most of your space, enhance picking efficiency, protect stock from damage while also creating a safe working environment for your employees.
Making it easy to find the right storage solution
It can feel like a daunting task but here at Whittan, we have over 70 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and installing highly efficient, safe and cost-effective storage solutions across the warehouse and logistics industries.
Make use of every inch of space
Every warehouse has limitations, but by making sure you maximise every opportunity you can expand your storage capabilities and improve the flow of goods.
Our extensive range of standard, narrow aisle and drive-in pallet racking can be custom-designed in a wide range of sizes and capabilities. While our dynamic storage solutions, which include pallet live, carton live and push-back racking can save up to 50% space and reduce travel distances by up to 80% to meet your specific requirements.
You might also consider one of our shelving options which have been designed to meet different load capacities and work in even the smallest of spaces. Alternatively, if the height is available why not choose a multi-tier system which will maximise the storage capacity of your building.
Our solutions go from a complex turnkey project all the way through to more simple, individual requirements. You can choose from a variety of services including design, project management, expert installation, maintenance, training and inspection.
Safety is paramount when it comes to efficiency
Aside from the obvious health and safety risk to your employees, properly maintaining your pallet racking ensures it can continue to serve your business for decades to come, maximising your investment and providing a reliable storage solution that will enable your operation to run like clockwork.
You can choose Whittan with complete peace of mind as we have a skilled team of safety engineers who are qualified as SEMA Approved Rack Inspectors (SARI). Their in-depth inspection will report on the status of your installation regardless of the original supplier and ensure the safety and structural integrity of your racking systems.
We also offer regular rack safety awareness courses, all of which are carried out in line with SEMA guidelines and ensure that delegates are trained to a PRRS (person responsible for rack safety) standard under the Health and Safety (HSG76) guidelines. With training dates available in May and June 2023, visit our website for more details.
Supporting the British warehousing and logistics industries for decades
From over 30-metre-tall racking structures for automated warehouses to doubling the footprint at ILG UK’s new Northampton warehouse with a mezzanine floor, and even creating secure and efficient locker rooms at Farmers Boy’s Bradford manufacturing plant to ensure Morrisons gets their food deliveries on time, we’ve seen and done it all over the years.
Don’t just take our word for it. Brian Offord, Team Manager at Farmers Boy Ltd. Greenside Park, commented on our work: “From start to finish, the project went brilliantly. We really got the best result. The digital locks are a great alternative to typical key locks and we’re already seeing the benefits in terms of managing the lockers. I can see how they’re going to save us a lot of time and money. Overall, we’re really impressed with the outcome and can’t praise the products and the team enough.”
